Let's say my app needs to use the Google account of the phone user, e.g. to interact with their contacts, mail etc or any other Google service requiring authentication. Now, the phone's user has logged in to their Google account once and once only I expect, and all the built- in apps are using that same login information, or more likely just an authenticated token generated on first login.
As an app writer, I don't expect my users will want to give their username and password *again* to my app, having already done it once for the phone as a whole. So how do apps like these go about it? I know there are plans in the works for an API to interact with the "Google Login Service", but there are already many, many applications out in the wild which already do this (including the built-in Google-written apps). How do they do this? cheers, Ian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
