How to logout from twitter using Fabric Sdk for android

Question

I used

Twitter.getSessionManager().clearActiveSession();

This does not work,next time when i logIn using twitter, it opens the dialog with browser,takes previous login and just asks "Allow app to fetch your data?", but doesn't ask for username and password.Any help will be appreciated.

tried deleting Application cache directory and also deleted browser data using Browser.clearHistory(getContentResolver()); , still the same issue – Saadi

Answer 1

I finally found a solution to this situation.

Accidentally, I found a method in Twitter SDK Kit for Android

CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
Twitter.getSessionManager().clearActiveSession();
Twitter.logOut();

This was very simple, it took me about half an hour to find it.

For version 3.0 and above

CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().clearActiveSession()

know how to do this for IOS objective c? – Leges

I literally cannot find any reference to this anywhere. I wonder if the method is asynchronous, or what it actually does. Fabric is poorly documented :( – Redintegrate

The CookieSyncManager is now deprecated. CookieManager.flush is a possible alternative. – Promontory

'android.webkit.CookieSyncManager' is deprecated. @Promontory can you please show sample snippet for how to use CookieManager.flush? – Vonnie

Now that CookieSyncManager is deprecated, I do it this way:

public void logoutTwitter() {
        TwitterSession twitterSession = TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().getActiveSession();
        if (twitterSession != null) {
            ClearCookies(getApplicationContext());
            Twitter.getSessionManager().clearActiveSession();
            Twitter.logOut();
        }
}

public static void ClearCookies(Context context) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
            CookieManager.getInstance().removeAllCookies(null);
            CookieManager.getInstance().flush();
        } else {
            CookieSyncManager cookieSyncMngr=CookieSyncManager.createInstance(context);
            cookieSyncMngr.startSync();
            CookieManager cookieManager=CookieManager.getInstance();
            cookieManager.removeAllCookie();
            cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
            cookieSyncMngr.stopSync();
            cookieSyncMngr.sync();
        }
    }

LAST WORKING solution:

public static void logoutTwitter() {
    TwitterSession twitterSession = TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().getActiveSession();
    if (twitterSession != null) {
        clearTwitterCookies(mAppContext);
        Twitter.getSessionManager().clearActiveSession();
        Twitter.logOut();
    }
}

public static void clearTwitterCookies(Context context) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
        CookieManager.getInstance().removeAllCookies(null);
        CookieManager.getInstance().flush();

    } else {
        CookieSyncManager cookieSyncMngr = CookieSyncManager.createInstance(context);
        cookieSyncMngr.startSync();
        CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
        cookieManager.removeAllCookie();
        cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
        cookieSyncMngr.stopSync();
        cookieSyncMngr.sync();
    }
}
