I am trying to authenticate something(in this case LinkedIn) using OAuth but the requested token always returns null?
Here is my code below:

this Android code worked fine before, but i'm having problems for some reason. here is the request i'm trying to make: https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/token. i'm getting 400:Bad Request as a response, and i'm not sure why. isn't this the correct URL for requesting a token? the auth token is being passed as a header in all requests now, and i can request feed list, and it works just fine, so there's nothing wrong with the auth code. what gives? in addition, i can request a token in a normal browser, like Chrome, and get a token as a response body. so the request itself is not the problem. i just can't figure out what is wrong with my requests in code...

I'm trying to open a dialog window, but every time I try to open it it throws this exception:
CODE:.................
I'm creating it by calling showDialog with the display's id. The onCreateDialog handler logs fine and I can step through it without an issue, but I've attached it since it seems like I'm missing something:
CODE:............
Is there something missing from this? Some questions have talked about having this problem when creating a dialog from onCreate, which happen because the activity isn't created yet, but this is coming from a call from a menu object, and the appContext variable seems like it is correctly populated in the debugger.
I've posted a bigger chunk of the code below. You can see that initially QUOTE was procedural- coded in place. I'm trying to learn how to use declarative design so I want to do the same thing but by using resources. It seems like I need to access the string.xml thru the @R.id tag and identify QUOTE with that string value. But I don't know enough to negotiate this.

I am developing an Android app for a website. I'm trying to get some information from the website by sending a cookie using a HttpGet request. I don't know where I am going wrong with the request. I am using AsyncTask to send the request to the server. The request also uses a token which I receive when I login to the webpage. All this is clear in the code below. This is part of the process in the doInBackground() function of the Asynctask:
BufferedReader in = null;
JSONObject token = Login.getToken(); // Token received after login, used in the cookie
try {
r = token.get("session_token").toString();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

I am using SAXParser to parse an html page (any better solution?) and have this exception:
W/System.err( 1358): org.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser $ParseException: At line 1, column 59: not well-formed (invalid token)
I have reduced the page to this:
<div id="submenu"><a href="/compte/console.pl? id=382730&idt=1cf6b94aa1a4cf84"></a></div>
And what causes the exception is the '&' inside the href attribute value.
Here is a minimalist test code:
DefaultHandler emptySaxHandler = new DefaultHandler() {};
String xmlstr = "<div id="submenu"><a href="/compte/console.pl?id=382730&idt=1cf6b94aa1a4cf84"></a></div>";
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
saxParser.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlstr.getBytes ()),emptySaxHandler);
Is this a normal behaviour or kind of bug? If normal, what should do to preprocess the string before parsing?
I'm wondering how to use the GData APIs without requiring the user to type their username and password in my app. The user has to login to the phone, so it doesn't make much sense to me that apps would require them to type it in again. The phone's calendar and Gmail apps obviously don't prompt so how is it done?
I found some threads on this which indicate this isn't possible, but they are pretty old and I was wondering if there is any new information (i.e., given that we have a new SDK version 1.1).
I want to make an application which allow user to add multiple recipient. Token for all recipient should be created and if i select any token and press back key,it should be deleted.

I'm connecting to my AppEngine application using the Apache HttpComponents library. In order to authenticate my users, I need to pass an authentication token along to the application's login address (http://myapp.appspot.com/%5Fah/login?auth=...) and grab a cookie from the header of the response. However, the login page responds with a redirect status code, and I don't know how to stop HttpClient from following the redirect, thus thwarting me from intercepting the cookie.
Fwiw, the actual method I use to send the request is below. How would I stop the client from following the redirect?
Update: As per the solution below, I did the following after creating a DefaultHttpClient client (and before passing it to the execute method):

More verbose than it seems it needs to be, but not as difficult as I thought.
I have to use OAuth for my Android client and I have found that the learning resources are pretty rare or inadequate for this technology. Does anybody know a good book/tutorial/online resource to learn OAuth?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen using the OAuth protocol, you need a secret string obtained from the service you want to delegate to. If you are doing this in a web app, you can simply store the secret in your data base or on the file system, but what is the best way to handle it in a mobile app (or a desktop app for that matter)?
Storing the string in the app is obviously not good, as someone could easily find it and abuse it.
Another approach would be to store it on you server, and have the app fetch it on every run, never storing it on the phone. This is almost as bad, because you have to include the URL in the app. I don't believe using https is any help.
The only workable solution I can come up with is to first obtain the Access Token as normal (preferably using a web view inside the app), and then route all further communication through our server, where a script would append the secret to the request data and communicates with the provider. Then again, I'm a security noob, so I'd really like to hear some knowledgeable peoples' opinions on this. It doesn't seem to me that most apps are going to these lengths to guarantee security (for example, Facebook Connect seems to assume that you put the secret into a string right in your app).
I don't believe the secret is involved in initially requesting the Access Token, so that could be done without involving our own server. Am I correct?
I think that I've found the problem I am having with AccountManager that I described in an earlier thread that got no responses on the board.
I think it is a problem with the way that the Activity Stack is working during the OAUTH workflow. Here's the workflow as I see it. I found this problem by separating out my Activity, which I'll call M, from the oauth Activity, which I'll call O. In the course of authentication, the web browser is invoked and let's call that B.
When a user needs to start over with authentication, my application, through Activity M, starts Activity O. That, in turn, generates some magic URL that is sent to the web browser. So the browser is fired up and information was sent to the OAUTH provider to do a redirect back through the browser back to Activity O.
So, this how the OAUTH workflow looks up to the browser: M -> O -> B
At this point the user logs in and hits the Accept button and the browser then invokes my BROWSABLE activity, which, again, is O. I had thought this would unwind the above stack, but it seems that above situation disappears and what I have after the user hits Accept in the browser is this: B -> O
What I did to work around that is that I put a startActity(M) in O and that seems to work, but it is a workaround.
I believe there is something that I could do with launch modes or activity modes to fix this problem and maintain the original activity stack.
All that is happening, really, is that the O activity pauses for little while, then comes back with the goods, the login credentials. But when I tried to return the information via startActivityForResult (), nothing. Because M is no longer on the Activity Stack.
About signpost, and then went back to Twitter4J with which I have created my twitter applications when OAuth wasn't necessary. whether I should use signpost or Twitter4J's method of OAuth authentication. I have read that Twitter4J itself uses signpost for OAuth, still am not sure about the choice that I should make.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am building an Android application that requires OAuth. I have all the OAuth functionality working except for handling the callback from Yahoo.
I have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml:
CODE:..............
Where www.test.com will be substituted with a domain that I own.
It seems :
This filter is triggered when I click on a link on a page. It is not triggered on the redirect by Yahoo, the browser opens the website at www.test.com It is not triggered when I enter the domain name directly in the browser.
When exactly this intent-filter will be triggered? Any changes to the intent-filter or permissions that will widen the filter to apply to redirect requests?
I am working on an Android application which is to serve as a simple Twitter client. I am using OAuth for authorization and have registered my application with Twitter as new OAuth client. Now when the user authorizes the application, I expect to be taken to the Callback URL(which is pointing to my application); but this is not happening.
My Problem along with source code is described in detail here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2199357/oauth-twitter-on-android-c...)
The following intent is launched post authorization: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize? oauth_token=XXACTUAL_TOKEN_HEREXX8&oauth_callback=myapp:///tweet cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity }
Some how, the hypothetical URL, I provided while registering my application, gets called.
I'm succesfully using Signpost to authorize calls to protected resources in a Google account via OAuth.
However it seems a bit weird that the user has to go each and every time through Google and grant access. Is there a way of serializing the Consumer and recreating it so that re-authorization is not needed? I've tried keeping the tokens, secret and verifier in the shared preferences and setting them in the Consumer but I receive a OAuthExpectationFailedException.
Android twitter Trying the following tutorial for Oauth based authentication and updating user status.

Im tryin to use Twitter with OAuth but i receive this exception.
Authorization failed (server replied with a 401). This can happen if the consumer key was not correct or the signatures did not match.
im using this sample

Error Line:
String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, OAuth.OUT_OF_BAND);
following questions:
1. How to implement 3 legged Authentication using OAuth on Android devices? Is there a library that assists in the aforementioned?
2. What does it mean when someone says: "Site/Service ABC supports OAuth"?
I can't get Oauth to work with Twitter. I have tried the following (all result in the same 401 error):
CODE:.......................
I've tried my own implementation and copy/pasted the sample code from each of the sites, and nothing seems to work. I'm also 100% sure I also downloaded and included any dependencies (where needed).
Here's the interesting part. Using jTwitter and the oauth-signpost library, I can initiate a connection to Twitter, open a browser window for the user, have them log-in and generate a PIN for my app. When the app goes to post a status update however, (using the pin, and the stored access token and token secret), the 401 error pops up. All other things I've tried won't even let me open a browser window and ask the user to generate a PIN (they die with the 401 error on the request for the "request token").
I have the complete source code for a small working application that performs OAUTH authorization with Twitter, then turns into a micro Twitter client, letting you post tweets to your Twitter stream. You will need to obtain an application key and secret from Twitter, by registering your application with them.
The html version of the repository is at: http://github.com/brione/Brion-Learns-OAuth.git
The read-only git repository is at: git://github.com/brione/Brion-Learns-OAuth.git
This code should work as is, once you've replaced the fake token and secret in the Keys class.
