AuthenticatorException: crash on crash on AVD

Question

I am trying to create an Android application that uses the Google OAuth library, like this sample .

However, when I call getAuthTokenByFeatures, I get an exception that throws this on LogCat:

05-24 10:56:58.224: W/System.err(557): android.accounts.AuthenticatorException: bind failure 05-24 10:56:58.236: W/System.err(557): at android.accounts.AccountManager.convertErrorToException(AccountManager.java:1563) 05-24 10:56:58.236: W/System.err(557): at android.accounts.AccountManager.access$400(AccountManager.java:140) 05-24 10:56:58.236: W/System.err(557): at android.accounts.AccountManager$AmsTask$Response.onError(AccountManager.java:1409) 05-24 10:56:58.236: W/System.err(557): at android.accounts.IAccountManagerResponse$Stub.onTransact(IAccountManagerResponse.java:69) 05-24 10:56:58.236: W/System.err(557): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:338) 05-24 10:56:58.236: W/System.err(557): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) 

However, this does not happen with a real Android device. I imitate Android 4.0.3 and could not find an answer to this anywhere for life. Any ideas?

This is usually observed when you do not declare an authenticator in the manifest. See Creating a stub authenticator .

 <service android:name="com.example.android.syncadapter.AuthenticatorService"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator"/> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" android:resource="@xml/authenticator" /> </service>
