To allow the user to authenticate himself, i pass on a url to the browser using intent. Then when verified the browser returns a token back to a callback class. This is perhaps easier to use for authentication. I would be glad to know of other ways as well. (:
How?
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#authorization
Under the heading, sending the user to authentication.
https://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth.html#WorkingOauth
Under the heading, Working with Oauth tokens.
It would be great if you could share your perspective on this. I found this most simple to implement, there are other ways too,
1. Using the Account of the device and authenticate using that, this limits the user's options of signing in using another account.
2. Using a separate self made UI , for getting User name and Password and then authenticating using google-api-java client.
I would love to hear about other ways too.
Thanks.

is another application -- you have no more rights to close some other
application than other applications have the right to close yours.
Oh...yes, agreed. absolutely.
Off the cuff, I would think that this sort of authentication would
work better with a WebView widget, so you can control this stuff
better. Then again, I have not tried it.

i want my previous activity to be shown instead of the browser when i click back in the newer activity (the one which comes after the authentication).
just wondering : correct me i am wrong, if i say create an intent of my previous activity and use startActivity (intent_name), all the data stored in the previous activity would be lost ?
