Hi, I'm calling the AccountManager like this:
accountManagerFutureOld = mAccountManager.getAuthToken(mAccount, "cl", false, null, null); The Account being passed in is a Google account (type="com.google"). This works perfectly well for thousands of users of my app. But a handful of times each day, some users are getting this error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown authTokenType at android.accounts.AccountManager.convertErrorToException(AccountManager.java:1093) at android.accounts.AccountManager.access$500(AccountManager.java:74) at android.accounts.AccountManager$AmsTask$Response.onError(AccountManager.java:944) at android.accounts.IAccountManagerResponse$Stub.onTransact(IAccountManagerResponse.java:69) at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:287) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) This isn't an exception that the javadoc says comes from this method! I think this is coming from the AbstractAccountAuthenticator.getAuthTokenLabel(IAccountAuthenticatorResponse, String) who in turn catches this exception from the concrete authenticator's getAuthTokenLabel(String) method. I've decompiled the gsf and looked in this method, but can't see any throw of an IllegalArgumentException in there. All it really does is call the PackageManager.getPermissionInfo() and retrieve attributes of the PermissionInfo returned. Looking at the details for the reports, I *think* these reports are only coming from non google devices - for example the reported models include MID-7AS, XT800, EFREN II, etc. I don't see any mentions of nice devices like Desire or Nexus, etc. At first I thought this was just people forcing my app onto a non gapps device, but the fact that they have a Google account on the device which can be happily enumerated and retrieved using the standard api (i.e. type-com.google) makes me think they at least have the full google services framework otherwise they wouldn't have the GoogleLoginService. So does anyone know exactly what this error thinks is missing..? Is there any way to spot this before trying the call? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
