Parameters

account
Account

The account for which an auth token is to be fetched. Cannot be null.

Attributes

Remarks

Gets an auth token from the AccountManager's cache. If no auth token is cached for this account, null will be returned -- a new auth token will not be generated, and the server will not be contacted. Intended for use by the authenticator, not directly by applications.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that manages the specified account.

<b>NOTE:</b> If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission and same UID as account's authenticator is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
