Android SDK Auth Window Not Showing up

[vivianofsouza]

Issue found on 2/3/2024.

SDK Version: 0.8.0

OS Version: Android API 34 (Using an Android Emulator)

Scope(s): app-remote-control

Steps to reproduce:

1. I followed the instructions from here, in order to import the app-remote-lib and set up authentication to Spotify Remote

2. However, I'm not able to authenticate my app with the app-remote. I followed the code in this link. I put this in my MainActivity.java of my React app: `protected void onStart() { ConnectionParams connectionParams = new ConnectionParams.Builder(CLIENT_ID) .setRedirectUri(REDIRECT_URI) .showAuthView(true) .build();

   SpotifyAppRemote.connect(this, connectionParams,
       new Connector.ConnectionListener() {
   
         @Override
         public void onConnected(SpotifyAppRemote spotifyAppRemote) {
           mSpotifyAppRemote = spotifyAppRemote;
           Log.d("MainActivity", "Connected! Yay!");
           // Now you can start interacting with App Remote
           connected();
         }
   
         @Override
         public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) {
           Log.e("MainActivity", throwable.getMessage(), throwable);
           // Something went wrong when attempting to connect! Handle errors here
         }
       });`

   But when I open my app, nothing appears and in my logs I keep getting this error: {"message":"Explicit user authorization is required to use Spotify. The user has to complete the auth-flow to allow the app to use Spotify on their behalf"}

I have Spotify installed on the emulator and am logged-in on that. I am also using the Web API SDK in other parts of the React project. so I added the scope 'app-remote-control' to the part where I request authentication and access for the Web API SDK. When I did that, I saw a pop-up screen that asked me to agree to the new scopes, but the app-remote still displayed the same message.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Expected behaviour:

To be able to authenticate to spotify remote and use the Spotify Remote Player.

Actual behaviour:

Getting error that Explicit user auth is required, no auth window shows up.

You must fill in these fields

• SH1 key
• redirect url

• application package name

  
  private val clientId = "d1125159a****************"
  private val redirectUri = "https://com.spotify.tv.android.spotifysdkkotlindemo/callback"
  private var spotifyAppRemote: SpotifyAppRemote? = null
  
      val connectionParams = ConnectionParams.Builder(clientId)
          .setRedirectUri(redirectUri)
          .showAuthView(true)
          .build()
  
      SpotifyAppRemote.connect(requireContext(), connectionParams, object : Connector.ConnectionListener {
          override fun onConnected(appRemote: SpotifyAppRemote) {
              spotifyAppRemote = appRemote
              Log.e("SpotifyLogs", "Connected! Yay!")
              connected()
          }
  
          override fun onFailure(throwable: Throwable) {
              Log.e("SpotifyLogs", throwable.message, throwable)
          }
      })
  
  private fun connected() {
      spotifyAppRemote?.let {
          val playlistURI = "spotify:track:3gVhsZtseYtY1fMuyYq06F"
          it.playerApi.play(playlistURI)
          it.playerApi.subscribeToPlayerState().setEventCallback {
              val track: Track = it.track
              Log.d("MainActivity", track.name + " by " + track.artist.name)
          }
      }
  }```
