Android AccountManager's getAuthToken returns null

I'm currently trying to implement AccountManager to my project. Creating the account works well, I can access the AuthToken without problem.

However, once I refresh and update the AuthToken in the AccountManager, I can't seem to access it anymore as AccountManager.getAuthToken() returns null every time and I end up refreshing the token every single time I try to access it.

Here's my getAuthToken() method:

public static String getAuthToken(final Context context)
{
    Log.d(TAG, "getAuthToken");
    AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.get(context);
    String accountType = context.getResources().getString(R.string.account_type);
    Account accounts[] = accountManager.getAccountsByType(accountType);

    if (accounts.length == 0) {
        return null;
    }

    /* This method retrieves the token for the given account but doesn't pop the Authentication Page if not found */
    AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> futureBundle = accountManager.getAuthToken(accounts[0], AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_TYPE, null, false, null, null);
    Bundle bundle;
    try {
        bundle = futureBundle.getResult();
    } catch (OperationCanceledException ex) {
        Log.wtf(TAG, "operation canceled: " + ex.getMessage());

        return null;
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Log.wtf(TAG, "IOException: " + ex.getMessage());

        return null;
    } catch (AuthenticatorException ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException(ex.getMessage());
    }

    Log.d(TAG, "AccountManagerUtility getAuthToken: " + bundle.getString(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN));
    return bundle.getString(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN);
}

And here's the method updating the AccountManager:

public static void updateAccount(Context context, final OAuthToken authToken)
{
    AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.get(context);
    String accountType = context.getResources().getString(R.string.account_type);
    Account accounts[] = accountManager.getAccountsByType(accountType);
    if (accounts.length == 0) {
        return;
    }

    accountManager.setAuthToken(accounts[0], AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_TYPE, authToken.getAccessToken());
    accountManager.setPassword(accounts[0], authToken.getRefreshToken());

    final long timestamp = java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis();
    setRefreshTokenTimestamp(context, timestamp); // Updates User data
}

Permissions are set in the AndroidManifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS"/>

And Authenticator is also defined. Actually, after updateAccount has been called, the Authenticator's getAuthToken is being called and that's the method that refreshes the token.

Thanks for you help.

Use this code to get AuthToken from your App's account instead:

AccountManager accountManager=AccountManager.get(getContext());
    String     oAuth=accountManager.peekAuthToken(account,"oauth");

accountManager.getAuthToken(accounts[0], AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN_TYPE, null, false, null, null);

is now deprecated.
