Login failed in Spotify Android SDK tutorial

Question

I'm trying to complete the beginner's tutorial for android sdk. I've made all the passage and no build errors occours, however launching the app, when I try to authenticate with facebook, in the logcat, I found "login failed"

06-21 18:34:39.282  14033-14033/com.example.lucabrognara.spotify_prova D/MainActivity﹕ Login failed

Here the complete log

Any idea to fix this issue? I've already try to delete the app from my facebook account but nothig, always "Login failed"

Update 1

I've print the message of the exception lauch the onLoginFailed method:

06-21 18:53:59.362  28201-28201/com.example.lucabrognara.spotify_prova D/MainActivity﹕ Login failed: The operation requires a Spotify Premium account

I'm not sure why for login I need a premium account...

Update 2

I've explicitally asked for a test account and the answer, I guess, close this question:

Q: "There's a way to use a test account? I'm developing an android app and i need spotify authentication"

A: "@lucabro no, I'm afraid you need to have a Spotify Premium account to be able to use this SDK"

Answer 1

Spotify doesn't seem to allow free users, not sure though

EDIT: Yeah they do need a premium account as of now, as you found out.

https://github.com/spotify/android-sdk/issues/49

Answer 2

Spotify API access has different scopes to gather information , and one or more of them , need premium account. I think you should be trying to access the scope " streaming ," which is premium .

Check your line :

builder.setScopes (new String [ ] { "scopeexample1", "scopeexample2" } ) ;
