Research direction

Start by comparing the msgraph-sample-android project with the updated Microsoft Authentication Library for Android and the msgraph-sdk-java v6 integration. Read the old AuthorizationHelper reference in the issue and determine how the signed-in client application connects to GraphServiceClient. Done means the sample has clear guidance or an example that compiles and supports sign-in, token use, and sign-out.

Description

type:documentation

The Microsoft Graph sample Android app
https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sample-android
no longer compiles with msgraph-sdk-java version 6.

There is an updated msal authentication library for Android
https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-android
and that works: I can sign in and out in a single account client application. But I have no idea how to connect to this library Microsoft Graph SDK for Java

Particularly: the old project had a class AuthorizationHelper that bridged for getting updated tokens between the signed in ClientApplication and the GraphServiceClient.

Any example or documentation on how build that connection with this v6 library?
