No easy to way to check for access token

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi I am using latest version of social auth for server and for Android.

I have this segment of source code on server side (in Scala):

socialAuthConfig.load(inputStreamOption.get)

          val socialAuthManager = new SocialAuthManager

          socialAuthManager.setSocialAuthConfig(socialAuthConfig)

          val providerId = "linkedin"

          val linkedinAccessToken = "36cc6f17-a8e3-4dab-8438-575cf6cdc8a0"

          //val accessGrant = socialAuthManager.createAccessGrant(providerId, linkedinAccessToken, "")
          val provider_config = socialAuthConfig.getProviderConfig(providerId)

          val accessGrant = new AccessGrant(linkedinAccessToken, provider_config.get_consumerSecret())

          //val authProvider = socialAuthManager.getProvider(providerId)

        val authProvider = new LinkedInImpl()

          authProvider.getProviderId

          //Option(authProvider) must beNone

I have not mastered all the differences between consumer key, consumer secret, 
api key, api secret, access token. And also there is some confusion about them.

My main goal is simply to force an access token (which I have already retrieve 
from another source) and verify in server if this is correct.

In other words I believe a method like this one would be really useful:
socialAuthManager.verifyAccessToken(providerId: String, accessToken: String)

Thank you

          val providerId = "linkedin"

          val linkedinAccessToken = "36cc6f17-a8e3-4dab-8438-575cf6cdc8a0"
val accessGrant = new AccessGrant();
accessGrant.setKey(linkedinAccessToken);
accessGrant.setProviderId(providerId);

AuthProvider provider = socialAuthManager.connect(accessGrant);

Profile profile = provider.getUserProfile();

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of the library for Android.

How can I obtain access token that I can reuse in the backend server?

Currently I'm using following code to get it:
                AuthProvider provider = social_auth_adapter.getCurrentProvider();
                if(provider!=null)
                    linkedInToken = provider.getAccessGrant().getKey();

Then I want to use it on my PHP backend to retrieve user's LinkedIn profile, 
but I get "401 invalid access token" error.
