Android :: Signpost OAuth - How To Re-create The Consumer Between Two Succesive Runs
Oct 9, 2010
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.

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.

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
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-signpost/wiki/TwitterAndSignpost
Error Line:
String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, OAuth.OUT_OF_BAND);

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.

Consumer Reports is supposed to have its finger on the pulse of the country. Recently, 50,000 readers were polled and only 54% were completely or very satisfied with their carrier and 67% had at least one major complaint. The top rated carrier was-no surprise-Verizon Wireless. Big Red finished numero uno with a score of 75. Number two with 70 points was T-Mobile. Sprint was third and AT&T was at the bottom with scores of 67 and 66, respectively.
The top ranked smartphone was the Apple iPhone 3GS with a score of 74, followed by the iPhone 3G with 71. The first non-iPhone model was the HTC Touch Pro2, also with a score of 71. The latter device is available on all of the top four U.S. carriers and twice was sold out at Verizon, once at AT&T where it is known as the Tilt2. Tied for third with a score of 70 was the HTC Imagio, Samsung Omnia, Nokia N97 and myTouch 3G. Despite heavy anticipation of its launch for the first half of the year, the Palm Pre was not a high scorer in the survey. To demonstrate the depth of love for the top ranked device, 98% of iPhone users said that they would buy another iPhone while 79% of other models were able to answer that they would buy their phone again. As for featurephones, the multi-talented LG enV Touch scored the highest with a 74 followed by the Samsung Alias 2 with a 72. Tied with a score of 70 was the Samsung Rogue and the LG Versa, all Verizon phones. Sprint's top featurephone was the Samsung Instinct HD with a 66 and the top AT&T model was the LG Xenon with a 69.

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?

When 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.

I 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 have an app that has a few checkboxes in the settings and then compiles a remote sql based on the checkboxes selected. i ran it in the emulator and it's fine. but then i exported it and published it as an app, and the same checked boxes aren't being passed correctly. i wonder if it's a caching issue or something. tried deleting the apks a few times and republish but to no avail. i "fake-edited" the source java and then export again, still no difference.
I'm kind of new to eclipse but is there a force build option? i only see build-automatically option under project but not sure how i can make sure that the apk exported is the same as run in the emulator
edit the emulator is version 1.5, and my phone is nexus one running 2.1- not sure if that makes a difference

Ok so here's the deal guys and gals, I am trying to have my phone assist me with my running. There are plenty of apps that will track my run via gps if I bring my phone on the run with me, but I don't wanna do that. I want to be able to map a course out, enter how long it took me, save the map and even share it with friends. Ideally the app would have the gps running features I mentioned above just on case I ever do start bringing my phone with me. Here is an example of what I mean in website form (unfortunately they make a sweet app for the iphone but their android version is pretty awful right now.MapMyRun.com -

Does anyone know if there is a way to identify (in code, not LogCat) when the GC has run? Perhaps an intent is fired? I could analyze the LogCat output, but it would be ideal if I could determine when the GC has run from my code.

When I am developing for Android and repeatedly running and/or debugging an Android app in the emulator then about every two hours or so I get an Out-of-memory exception, occasionally also an out-of - resources- or out-of-GWT-handles exception. At that point one can only stop and restart eclipse. Apparently the ADK must be doing something wrong, because I have been developing with Eclipse now for 5+ years and I normally never see this. ADT is a really the exception here. Is there any setting or patch that helps top avoid this? I have already given it more heap space (750M) to stretch the time between these hickups a bit, but that approach isn't really sustainable.
This is using Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) and the Android SDK r06 running a FroYo AVD.

For my first application, the only testing I've really done to this point is on my Droid X. I want to think through the various hardware differences and come up with a testing plan that is representative of the Android landscape. My initial thought is to create a list of emulators that have unique qualities such as screen size and SDK levels. I've noticed very quickly how the UI of my application will need some adjustment when viewed on devices that don't carry a 4.3" screen. How have you approached this hurdle in your own development?

After deleting a phone device from the emulator, I can no longer hit the green triangle button in eclipse and have it launch my application in the emulator. I had been developing for 2.0.1, but then decided to try my app out in 2.1. I created a phone device for 2.1 and tried running it. I encountered some problems. Eclipse pops up a dialog box: Problem Occurred, Launching "my app" had encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during: 'Launching my app". When I look at details, it says: An internal error occurred during: "Launching Pingo". java.lang.NullPointerException.

Does anyone know of, or have implemented, a physics engine which runs smoothly in Android? I have spent the last couple of days trying Phys2D and JBox2D, however both perform very poorly - I am struggling to get even a few objects to simulate smoothly as frequent garbage collection spoils it. One question I do have is will these run smoother on an actual G1 device or is the performance of the emulator accurate?

I want to close my application, so that it no longer runs in the background.How to do that? Is this good practice on Android platform?If I rely on the "back" button, it closes the app, but it stays in background. There is even application called "TaskKiller" just to kill those apps in the background.

I have a WebView. I'm not quite sure how caching works for it. Ideally I'd like to load a web page from the network once (images included), then from then on only ever load it from the local cache. I'm not sure if we have this level of control over webview. Will it at some point just auto-clear the cache? How could I tell? I need to be sure that it's really keeping the page cached between different runs of my application.http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html.

Do you have any idea on how to make this ?
I have seen that tutorial : http://mobileorchard.com/tutorial-networking-and-bonjour-on-iphone/, but I don't know if it will work using the android NDK

I have written a simple Authenticator service to work with the new AccountManager API introduced in 2.0. When I launch a test app that uses the authenticator the authenticator service is launched (as expected) and it's onBind method is called. However, if I run my test application a second time in the same emulator (without restarting the emulator) my service is not launched and onBind is not called.
So far the only way I have found to get my service to launch and onBind to call again is to restart the emulator, which is a very time consuming process. I have looked at the Devices view in Eclipse and ensured that all of my processes have been killed, just in case one of them was just being rebound to or something.
