GoogleAuthUtil.getToken() is deprecated how can i get accessToken

Question

I was implementing google sign but i came to this method and this is deprecated show its always return null value

String  token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountName, scopes);

even i used other methods

 String token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountName, scopes, null);

but it still returns null and shows as it is deprecated. Please help how can i get access token

Answer 1

In the below getToken method, I think you are passing accountName which is a string value.

String  token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountName, scopes);
String token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountName, scopes, null);

thus it will still return deprecated method getToken.

converting string into account before passing as mentioned below will help`:

Account accountDetails = new Account(accountName, GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE);

String  token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(loginActivity, accountDetails, scopes);

Hope this helps.
