authTokenType is null

Error message

authTokenType is null

What it means

setAuthToken(userId, account, authTokenType, authToken) throws IllegalArgumentException('authTokenType is null') after the account null-check. The authTokenType is the map key under which the token is stored on the VAccount; a null key would make token lookup and Map operations unreliable, so the service rejects it.

Solutions

1. Pass a non-empty authTokenType string constant (e.g. 'com.example.token')
2. Validate the value read from Bundle/intent extras before calling setAuthToken
3. Define token types as compile-time constants rather than runtime-computed strings

Example fix

// before
manager.setAuthToken(userId, account, extras.getString("token_type"), token);
// after
String tokenType = extras.getString("token_type");
if (account != null && tokenType != null) {
    manager.setAuthToken(userId, account, tokenType, token);
}

if (authTokenType == null || authTokenType.isEmpty()) { throw new IllegalStateException("authTokenType must be a non-empty constant"); }

boolean isValidTokenType(String t) { return t != null && !t.trim().isEmpty(); }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling setAuthToken with a null authTokenType — e.g. the token type comes from a Bundle extra that was never set (AccountManager.KEY_AUTHENTICATOR_TYPES or a custom constant missing), or a constant defined as null.

Common situations: Custom authenticator code where the token-type string constant was renamed or its config value lost; reading the type from an intent extra that is absent; typos making the variable unassigned.
