Great - some healthy discussion on the topic, thanks guys. I guess we've ended up at roughly the same point: we need to know where the token is stored and how to obtain it.
If you see another related post (instigated by me) here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f63f19acb691c980/8b2722c1c5c20da0?lnk=gst&q=thanks+dianne#8b2722c1c5c20da0 ...Dianne has said that there are plans for an API to interact with the GoogleLoginService. (The reason for this separate thread is because even after Dianne's reply it struck me that there must be many applications already doing this, so I was asking how they are currently doing it, even before such an API is released.) Dianne, do you have any input on this? Also, do you have any updated info on the API?
