Sorry if that reply instigated these comments. Am glad you still had patience to respond.
Chrome to phone is probably showing up there having a server side component. As explained in the fist post, am looking for ways to revoke google account access granted to android apps on the phone. Nope, account manager doesn't help users. Once an app has gained the cookie/token through the account manager, it is pretty much out of the way. While I found revoking is possible for google app engine based apps, am still hunting for the right answer w.r.t android apps. And including this thread, there is no relevant answer on the Internet. And am hoping that is incorrect and that it would be possible for an user to clear access granted for individual android apps to a particular google account. But cold somebody confirm this to be true or false: "Since the same auth token as the android system's is shared with third party apps, there is no way to distinguish requests from arbitrary apps using this token. Hence revoking on per app basis is ruled out. The app has access to all google stuff till the android system's token remains valid on the server. " Okay that is acceptable but in any case, how to revoke access granted to an android app (account by account)? On first attempt by an app, the android system throws its own activity asking user to allow or deny an app from accessing tokens of a particular google account. Don't tokens expire? Second time on, the android system doesn't invoke user interaction to grant access. The app simply gets a copy of the (new) token. Clearing out access to all android apps allowed access to tokens is an acceptable workaround. But for which google's android apps should I clear data/cache on android? Please clarify. AccountManager document doesn't answer this. AOSP on source.android.com doesn't have relevant code to clear tokens etc. Thanks for your time, RS On Jun 17, 12:35 pm, Nikolay Elenkov <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 8:07 PM, RS <[email protected]> wrote: > > Well, I came here only after realizing how bad I was at it in this > > particular case. > > You should probably says so and say what you tried so far, instead > of just 'oh you guys obviously have no clue'.
