[FIXED] How to clear bearer tokens in Ktor-client for Android

Issue

I am using Ktor client for Android together with the plugin: io.ktor:ktor-client-auth:1.6.4. The current implementation is similar to this snippet.

Now I want to implement a 'log out' function when after a button is clicked the tokens are deleted, the question is... how?

Solution

You can get an instance of the Auth plugin, find a BearerAuthProvider provider and call the clearToken method to delete tokens. Here is an example:

val client = HttpClient(Apache) {
    install(Auth) {
        bearer {}
    }
}

val provider = client.feature(Auth)!!.providers.filterIsInstance<BearerAuthProvider>().first()
provider.clearToken()
