Android authentication: callback not called

Question

I am using an authentication system in Android 4.2 using an authentication example. In my application, I have a MenuActivity function with the Login option. If you click this option and the user has not logged in already, my authentication system will start and the AuthenticationActivity function will be displayed.

When the login ends, I want to execute some code in MenuActivity so that it knows that the user is logged in. I created a callback to do this, but it never called. Logging in works fine, if I close the application and run it again, it detects the user as registered.

In my Activity menu, I have the following:

public void login() { if(mAccount != null) Toast.makeText(MenuActivity.this, getString(R.string.account_exists), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); else{ mAccountManager.addAccount(ACCOUNT_TYPE, AUTHTOKEN_TYPE, null, null, this, completeCallbackLogin, null); } } // Callback called when the login ends. private AccountManagerCallback<Bundle> completeCallbackLogin = new AccountManagerCallback<Bundle>() { public void run(AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> arg0) { Log.d("MenuActivity", "CALLBACK"); // When the login ends we save the account in the global variables refreshAccount(); Toast.makeText(MenuActivity.this, getString(R.string.login_ok), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }; 

In my AuthenticatorActivity (called LoginActivity) I do the following:

 Account account = new Account(mUsername, ACCOUNT_TYPE); try{ mAccountManager.addAccountExplicitly(account, mPassword, newBundle()); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); return; } final Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME, mUsername); intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE, ACCOUNT_TYPE); intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_PASSWORD, mPassword); intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN, mAuthToken); intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_BOOLEAN_RESULT, true); LoginActivity.this.setAccountAuthenticatorResult(intent.getExtras()); setResult(RESULT_OK, intent); LoginActivity.this.finish(); 

As I said, my callback is never called. Why is this?

[EDIT]

I just noticed that if I run the application again (Eclipse-> Run), the callback is called immediately before closing my application, which will be installed again.

In my AbstractAccountAuthenticator application, I forgot to add the following line in the addAccount method:

 intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATOR_RESPONSE, response);
