Thank you Greg. Let me ask you about this scenario then. Let's say that in my app the user wants to backup a file. So the app initiates authentication, on resume is called and the file gets backed up. Good, now let's say right away the user press home button and come back to the app, the on resume will be called. In that case, won't the authenticationSuccessfull returns true? And if so then the file will get backup again (and the file could've changed meanwhile).
IIn summary, is it guaranteed that the authenticationSuccessfull will return true "only" if the on resume is called as a result Auth flow and will return false even if authentication was just done previously on the same activity?
Thank you again
