[android-developers] AccountManager "wrong password or account changed" error

This is a reply to:

(which is closed for replies).

I had the same issue when trying to develop an app that authenticates
with the Google Docs List API.
My AccountManager.blockingGetAuthToken(account, AUTH_TOKEN_TYPE, true)
call would cause a notification bar warning to appear that said
something like "Sign-in error..." and then asked me to re-enter the
password.

The solution turned out to be correcting the AUTH_TOKEN_TYPE string.
After I set it to "writely" (based on the table from
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/faq.html#clientlogin), everything
worked.

The table is copy-pasted below in case that page goes away:

A "service name" is a brief string that the ClientLogin authentication
system uses to identify a Google service.
