I have an Android App that currently authenticates with a Google App Engine App using an AccountManager instance. I call AccountManager.getAuthToken() with token type = "ah", as described in Nick Johnson's blog ( http://blog.notdot.net/2010/05/Authenticating-against-App-Engine-from-an-Android-app), and this works perfectly fine. The end-user does not have to enter any credentials in my android app. The user has a configured Google account in Android system settings, and through the Account Manager I am able to authenticate with Google App Engine.
I'd like to change this a bit, to use OAuth instead of Google Accounts API, in Google App Engine configuration. And with this change, I'm wondering if there's a way to still not have the user provide credentials at all, and use the Google account configured in Android system settings to retrieve an OAuth access token. Anybody know how to do this? More specifically, where do I tell AccountManager what the OAuth consumer key and consumer secret is? I have heard that AccountManager supports OAuth 2.0 3-legged authentication. This is what I'd like to implement, along with the requirement that the user should not be asked to provide Google account credentials, as long as there a Google account configured in Android system settings. Many thanks in advance. Rishi. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
