Implementing OAuth2 with AccountManager, Retrofit and Dagger

README.md

This snippet works with Doorkeeper and uses refresh token (with refresh token rotation).

This looks fantastic, though there are so many missing pieces that it's really hard to learn from.

It looks like this example is largely based on this project here: https://github.com/f2prateek/android-couchpotato; I can see that many of the missing classes and references are found in that project.

I know this is a year old, but any chance you could upload the Android project in its entirety? 😄

For anyone who's looking for a base implementation of Account Authenticator check out, https://github.com/Udinic/AccountAuthenticator/blob/master/src/com/udinic/accounts_authenticator_example/authentication/AuthenticatorActivity.java first before starting on this.

Can you please share the example with me too? I miss too many dependencies I'm not able to figure out how to setup correctly the project.

Thanks

Hey,
I would really like to learn from the complete example =)!
If you could share it with me, you would help me a lot!

With best regards!

Can you please share an updated example? That would be really cool!

Hi,
I also want your nice example.Is it possible to authenticate to my own oauth server other than google using this example?
Is it possible to share?
Thanks.

I am not too sure which constants value for LoginFragment.

I found complete example for OAuth2 using concept presented in this gist.
Please look at:
https://github.com/Udinic/AccountAuthenticator
and tutorial:
http://blog.udinic.com/2013/04/24/write-your-own-android-authenticator/

Please make the example with rxandroid Observable

At first, I did not understand this gist but after many posts on Android Authenticator, this gist is a great resource.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks

How do you test the authenticator since it relies on the account manager?

Gracias!!
