Google+ Share Stopped working

Question

I have an android app and I'm implementing share following these instructions.

I manage to get it working. I came back to it the next day and I get this output in logcat:

 G+ on connection failed ConnectionResult{statusCode=SIGN_IN_REQUIRED, resolution=PendingIntent{422d8470: android.os.BinderProxy@422d8410}}

I have triple checked the api console, removed my OAuth clientID and input again fresh. This has not fixed it. Any idea about what I can look into to fix it?

You can get the SIGN_IN_REQUIRED connection result for a number of reasons, eg.:

• if you call PlusClient.clearDefaultAccount();.
• if you disconnect the app either on http://plus.google.com/apps or by calling PlusClient.revokeAccessAndDisconnect();.
• if your app requests authorization scopes in addition to those requested previously.

For SIGN_IN_REQUIRED, the ConnectionResult you receive contains a PendingIntent which can be used to resolve the issue. In the sample at the instructions you're following the example code handles the error in onConnectionFailed with the following code:

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
    if (result.hasResolution()) {
        try {
            result.startResolutionForResult(this, REQUEST_CODE_RESOLVE_ERR);
        } catch (SendIntentException e) {
            mPlusClient.connect();
        }
    }
    // Save the result and resolve the connection failure upon a user click.
    mConnectionResult = result;
}

result.startResolutionForResult() will display an account chooser or the permissions dialog to resolve the issues mentioned above, and return control to onActivityResult, eg:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_RESOLVE_ERR && responseCode == RESULT_OK) {
        mConnectionResult = null;
        mPlusClient.connect();
    }
}

At this point the call to PlusClient.connect() should succeed.
