Re: [android-developers] Re: writing an Authenticator to use with AccountManager
Back to this question again. As I said in my original message, I'm working from the SampleSyncAdapter example program. Currently, it mostly works, but I don't understand the flow of control, OR how to do certain operations. Currently, if I start my app on a clean emulator, it prompts me for the userid/password and connects to my server. That works. Now, I want to be able to Logoff, so that the next time the app tries to access the server, the user will be prompted for Userid/Password again. That doesn't work. It seems to go into an infinite loop in my code calling AccountManager.getAuthToken(), which invokes my run( AccountManagerFuture) method, but since the token is null (actually, so it account name and type), it gets the Account using getAccountsByType(), and calls AccountManager.getAuthToken() again So, I'm definitely doing something wrong, and it would be helpful if I could find a good description of how the Account system actually works.

You must implement the actual transport, generation and check for your own authenticator. - Brill On Jan 7, 1:05 pm, John Lussmyer johnlussm...@gmail.com wrote: Is there a tutorial on how to write an Account Authenticator?
