Logout from Spotify with the sdk spotify-android-auth

I have an Android app, which the user can link to Spotify, with : AuthenticationClient.openLoginActivity(getActivity(), SPOTIFY_REQUEST_CODE, request);

The problem is that I want the user to change his Spotify account so I want to logout the user from Spotify to log with another account. But the data of the connection are saved in the cache and when I use this line again : "AuthenticationClient.openLoginActivity(getActivity(), SPOTIFY_REQUEST_CODE, request);", it does not show the connection dialog because the user is already connected.

In the doc, it says : "To log out and clear all stored tokens, use the AuthenticationClient#clearCookies method. Both Spotify and Facebook tokens will be removed."

But the method clearCookies does not exist anymore. What can I do to logout the user and allow him to connect on another account ?

Solution

  • I've searched on the net and seems that this code

    AuthenticationRequest.Builder builder = new AuthenticationRequest.Builder(CLIENT_ID, type, redirectUri)
           .setShowDialog(true)
           .setScopes(scopes).build();

    took from this post it's your only choice to try to logout a user.

    I can't test it, so you should try it yourself and see if works.

    The documentation on the Spotify Android SDK is outdated and is not reflecting the new Spotify auth library on GitHub.
