Need a guide to use access tokens

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey guys first of all I would like to thank you so much for such an amazing API.

Now here's my problem,
I'm currently developing an app/service which saves the authentication/access 
token from providers and saves it in server backend for future use.

Eg: 
1.User logs into custom service, 
2.authenticates with facebook, 

then i wanna save this authentication status in my backend so that next time if 
the user logs into custom service he needn't authenticate facebook again.

I learned that you can get access token through the following code:
adapter.getcurrentprovider().getAccessGrant().getKey()

But how to use it to avoid provider reauthentication??

Please help I've searched a lot, getting a real headache now.

Thanks in advance.

next time, the app will use the access token to log to facebook. I don't think 
you need to do anything.

if you want to create custom methods you can use api method.

ajanks, we may switch to official facebook api in next release but currently 
not confirm.
currently we don't use office facebook api , so can't use access token.

No suppose the user has logged out from the service completely and he logs in 
back again from a different device. Then he has to log in to facebook again 
right? thats what i want to avoid.

Instead if I'm able to save access token, then the user will be relieved of 
re-login, hope u got it.

And how to log-out from providers using SocialAuth?!! having trouble with the 
arguments, where's the documentation guys?!

In socialauth , we use accessGrant that contains key, secret , permissions.

what you can do that you save ( if i m understanding your use case) the 
AccessGrant Object and re-use it on different device.

One thing you must take care, the user should not log through socialauth again 
because this token will get invalid if you generate a new access token.

Please note we are not handling the expiry token state as this is a common lib.

ok but where can i get this access Grant object? the source is in jar, is there 
any api or do i have to modify it myself?

If i have to modify it myself then where is the source for latest socialauth 
jar?

Thank you for responding.

Hey I figured out a way to get the access grant object but how should i reuse 
it?
I know i cant call adapter.authorize cuz it will replace the token. then where 
should i pass this access grant object?

ANOTHER ISSUE regarding GOOGLE PLUS. I'm using my own client id & secret but 
I'm unable to login cuz there's a callback uri mismatch. 

I manually updated the callback uri with the uri mentioned in Google Cloud 
Console but then the webview wont redirect back to application after GOOGLE 
PLUS AUTHENTICATION.
