Log in loop when pressing back button

[Marco M.22]

Hi everyone,

I'm developing an android app which uses DB api V2. Each time i select the option for login it accesses my dbbox through my credentials I can upload a file. But when i want to come back to the activity that called the one for authentication in fact it reloads the just called activity. I think it's an issue with onResume method but I'm not able to figure it out

Hi Marco, I'm not sure I follow, but it sounds like you may be calling the startOAuth2Authentication method when you don't intend to. You may want to add some logging around that, or step through with a debugger to see where that's happening.

You can refer to the Android sample app here to see how it handles it:

If you're still having trouble, please post the relevant code, and maybe some screenshots and a screencast showing the issue.
