I don't know if all of the Android Mail apps support OAuth these days, but there tools built into Google Services on Android to handle oauth grants very easily (certainly the easiest of the platforms besides web apps). For terminal apps, doing something like I did with Mutt is probably the right choice and pretty straightforward. For gui apps, it's obviously more complicated if you need to embed a web browser, not to mention the inherent insecurity of logging into Google from an embedded web browser... but I guess you would have given that app your password anyways prior to oauth, so whatever.
