New Feature: Revoke access

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is not a defect but a request for a new feature.

The feature would be to have the possibility to perform the revoke permission 
action against the social network provider.

I suppose that, in the same way how one android app provide the feature to gain 
the permission to perform certain actions on behalf of the user for a given 
social network, it should also provide the feature that would allow the user to 
revoke them afterwards.

Some providers, even require to the app to implement this feature as part of 
their terms and conditions.
E.g. Google+ explicitly requests that you must implement a way that allow the 
user to revoke the access directly from the app. 
(https://developers.google.com/+/policies)

Maybe a new method revokeAccess(String providerName) to implement in the 
SocialAuthAdapter (of course along with an implementation for each provider)?

Currently it is available only the signOut method that disconnects the provider 
but the applications still has the permission to interact with the provider on 
behalf of the user.

What do you think?

Hi ,

We are not including this feature in sdk. We believe revoking access should be 
done at account level.
