Hi Shaz, thank you very much for your answer and interesting lead. > To answer both in one go - why not just create an app that uses the > built in rendering engine (webkit i think) for logging in / > identifying user/phone within your app? The package is webkit, you are right, official page at: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/package-summary.html And I also found a small tutorial (didn't try it yet) at http://senior.ceng.metu.edu.tr/2009/praeda/2009/01/11/how-to-pure-html-android-application/ But let me better understand your approach, not sure I understood. You are suggesting to serve from Cake HTML pages (probably styled or created on purpose) that can be browsed by the Android app?

To answer both in one go - why not just create an app that uses the built in rendering engine (webkit i think) for logging in / identifying user/phone within your app?

Interfacing with Android app (and/or iPhone)
Hi all, I have developed with CakePHP a "social network" website complete with mobile version for mobile browsing. Users are authenticated with Auth and also tracked with cookies if not authenticated. Now I want to develop the related Android app (and later on the iPhone one), but before starting I have in my mind a number of unresolved (and probably not too clever...) questions, all related to the possible best practices to interface a CakePHP server with mobile app... For instance: * I expect to exchange data via JSON (services already in place for some JS and Flex features) but as the request is not coming from a browser, how do I get info about the user / phone? Some info are contained in the HTTP request? How do I parse them? * Authentication: which the best (and reasonably secure) method to send login and password (or new user registrations) to the Auth logic? I would really appreciate any help or link to related topics. Thank you in advance.
