Get Accestoken of logged in user in twitter using twitter4j android

I can successfully log in to twitter using twitter4j in android. When I am already logged in, I want to get the accesstoken of the logged in user. See below code.

Uri uri = getIntent().getData();

    if (uri != null && uri.toString().startsWith(TWITTER_CALLBACK_URL)) {

        String verifier = uri.getQueryParameter(TWITTER_OAUTH_VERIFIER);

        try {
            AccessToken accessToken = twitter.getOAuthAccessToken(requestToken, verifier);
            Editor e = mSharedPreferences.edit();

            e.putString(PREF_KEY_OAUTH_TOKEN, accessToken.getToken());
            e.putString(PREF_KEY_OAUTH_SECRET, accessToken.getTokenSecret());
            e.putBoolean(PREF_KEY_TWITTER_LOGIN, true);
            e.commit();

            FunctionToCall(accessToken);


        }
        catch (Exception e) {
        }
    }
    else{
        //HERE IS WHERE THE PROGRAM GOES WHEN THE USER IS ALREADY LOGGED IN.
        //I WANT TO GET THE ACCESS TOKEN HERE (AccessToken as object not as String)
        so that I can pass it to the function

        FunctionToCall(accessToken);        
    }
    loginToTwitter();
}

private void loginToTwitter() {
    // Check if already logged in
    if (!isTwitterLoggedInAlready()) {
        ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
        builder.setOAuthConsumerKey(TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY);
        builder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET);
        Configuration configuration = builder.build();

        TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(configuration);
        twitter = factory.getInstance();
        try {
            requestToken = twitter.getOAuthRequestToken(TWITTER_CALLBACK_URL);
            TwitterLogin.this.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(requestToken.getAuthenticationURL())));
        } catch (TwitterException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        //I want to get the ACCESS TOKEN OBJECT either here or at the above code
        //I can get the Access token as string (but I want AccessToken as object not as String)
        Log.e("Twitter OAuth Token", "> " + mSharedPreferences.getString(PREF_KEY_OAUTH_TOKEN, "0"));
    }
}

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Getting preferences on Android is done with the SharedPreferences which you can get with PreferenceManager.

Use this code to get your settings and recreate the accesstoken:

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(contextInTask);
String token = prefs.getString(PREF_KEY_OAUTH_TOKEN, "");
String secret = prefs.getString(PREF_KEY_OAUTH_SECRET, "");

AccessToken token = new AccessToken(token, secret);

If you happen to have the (Twitter) userId you can also use:

AccessToken token = new AccessToken(token, secret, userId);
