Android - Unable to save the login in my android app
Hi, I am able to log the user in and retrieve the access token the first time and store it using SharedPreferences. However, I want the users to log in automatically the next time they open my app ...
While access tokens don't expire automatically, users can revoke access tokens at any time.
You can check if an access token is still currently valid by attempting an API call, such as getCurrentAccount.
If the access token is no longer valid though, it's not possible to get a new one without sending the user through the app authorization flow again.
