Android app crashes on addAccountExplicitly(account, password, null);

Question

After a successful basic authentication I want to add an account for later use. When I tried to create this account using the following code:

AccountManager          


        

Answer 1

It may cause by an ACCOUNT_TYPE mismatch. check ACCOUNT_TYPE in Class and ACCOUNT_TYPE in authenticator.xml must match

private static final String ACCOUNT_TYPE = "com.someonew.syncaccount";

authenticator.xml
