Here the OnCheckedChangeListener mCheckedChangeListner for mSignInSwitch (in ProviderListItem.java) calls the SignInManager implemented by AccountListActivity. When the implemented signIn Method fails only a toast is displayed.
The SignInManager implemented in by AccountListActivity could be extended to check if the account password is empty. If so the Intent.ACTION_EDIT could be started instead of attempting to sign in.
This might be too trivial though, as in general using SASL authentication, the password does not need to be known on the client. Therefore a more generalised solution would be to always attempt to sign in (as is done now), but display Intent.ACTION_EDIT on authentication failure.
