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 — Neal Ahluvalia, Apr 20 '15 at 09:24

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()

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 :( – Daniel Wilson Jan 11 '16 at 17:23

The CookieSyncManager is now deprecated. CookieManager.flush is a possible alternative. – moyheen Jan 12 '16 at 11:25

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();
    }
}

I'm sorry but this doesn't work for me. I always get the last user logged. I'm using the last version. — AlphaDeveloper, Jan 22 '17 at 00:08

TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().clearActiveSession();

This one is the logout method when you are login with Twitter Auth
