I will remain active on IRC and Mailing lists to discuss and finalize on the modifications (if any) that needs to be done on this project. - Thus with the help of my mentor I will become absolutely clear about my future goals, and the final implementations that need to be done as well as the approach that I will follow to complete the project. 23 May, 2016 - 29 May, 2016 (Official coding period starts) - Create a Application targeting Android 4.0+ versions - Extending the AbstractAccountAuthenticator class ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AbstractAccountAuthenticator.html) 30 May, 2016 - 5 June, 2016 - Adding Login/Register feature that will add the account the My Accounts section of the Android 6 June, 2016 - 12 June, 2016 - Adding getAuthToken : Gets an authtoken for an account. 13 June, 2016 - 19 June, 2016 - Testing of features added till now. - Giving a very beautiful UI to the application.
