title: android.accounts.AuthenticatorException: bind failure
body: <p>I am getting the following exception; I know its not much to go on, but there seems little to no working documentation out there. Suffice it to say, I have tried all the examples on implementing my own Authenticator.</p>
  
  <p>I have found a proposed answer <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10736245/authenticatorexception-bind-failure-on-avd">here</a> to fix my Manifest-File (declaring the service). Had already done that, problem persisting. </p>
  
  <p>My initial solution is based on <a href="http://blog.udinic.com/2013/04/24/write-your-own-android-authenticator/" rel="noreferrer">this example: write-your-own-android-authenticator</a></p>
