I've been using the SampleSyncAdapter as a base to create my own SyncAdapter. It seems to work well to add a new account, but once I want to get the authtoken with AccountManager.blockingGetAuthToken(... it gets stuck and then throws an OperarationCanceledException after a few minutes.
Does anyone have an Idea of what could be wrong here? The code is almost the same as the sample except I am authenticating towards my own server.

The blockingGetAuthToken method is a helper that calls getAuthToken synchronously.
If you are accessing the network to retrieve the auth token you will be blocked until the request succeeds. You should check that you can access the network resource properly from within your application.
