It depends :) You can get an authentication token (ClientLogin or OAuth2) using
the AccountManager or the newly released Google Play Services API. You can
use that token to login to Google APIs, directly or using client libraries they
provide. There is an API for Calendar, for GMail you can use an OAuth2 token
to login to IMAP and fetch messages. There used to be an RSS feed with
messages as well, not sure if it is still available.

You can check available client libraries here:
