Unless there is an official API, this may or may not work. What you are getting from AccountManager is a ClientLogin token, but you are trying to use is as if it were an OAuth token, that's probably why you get an error. For ClientLogin you need something like: Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=token Again, this may or may not work, especially since ClientLogin is deprecated. I am also not sure whether the 'mail' token will work for the RSS feed. To get an OAuth token, you need to use 'oauth2:scope' where scope is the scope for the particular service, you need to find out what it is for this feed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
