Hi Faber, Here is the information on how you generically log into Google services and GAE app programatically:
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/101742/how-do-you-access-an-authenticated-google-app-engine-service-from-a-non-web-pyt/499124 Here is the code I wrote for Android: Log.d(TAG, "Num cookies before login: " + httpclient.getCookieStore ().getCookies().size()); //Setup Google.com login request parameters List <NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>(); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Email", username)); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Passwd", password)); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("service", "ah")); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("source", "YOUR-PROJECT-NAME")); // used by google for accounting nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("accountType", "GOOGLE")); //using HOSTED here will do bad things for hosted accounts //Login at Google.com HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost("https:// www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin"); httpost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8)); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpost); Log.i(TAG, "Google.com Login Response: " + response.getStatusLine ()); //Find authkey in response body to pass to Appspot.com ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); response.getEntity().writeTo(ostream); String strResponse = ostream.toString(); Log.v(TAG, strResponse); StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(strResponse, "\n\r="); String authKey = null; while(st.hasMoreTokens()) { if(st.nextToken().equalsIgnoreCase("auth")) { authKey = st.nextToken(); Log.d(TAG, "AUTH = " + authKey); break; } } //Do a GET with authkey to get cookie from Appspot.com HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("YOURAPP.APPSPOT.COM /_ah/login? auth=" + authKey + "&continue=" + URL_OF_PAGE_YOU_WANT); response = httpclient.execute(httpget) Log.i(TAG, "Appspot.com Login Response: " + response.getStatusLine ()); Log.d(TAG, "Num cookies after login: " + httpclient.getCookieStore ().getCookies().size()); Let me know if this works for you. I pulled it together from different parts of my code so I might have messed something up. For simplicity I left out the error checking.
