Implementing OAuth2 with AccountManager, Retrofit and Dagger

README.md

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

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!!
