I've been working for the past two days to make httpclient calls from android calls to REST web services on my app engine project and provide the authentication cookie when the user enters their gmail credentials on the phone - so the android app is able to download data from the service and the code behind the service can use UserService userService = UserServiceFactory.getUserService(); because the android app is indeed logged in.
There is a lot of info on ways to get the google auth code and the auth cookie and then pass the cookie in the header of an http request - but no info out there on doing all of this from android and going as far as to add the cookie to the remaining http requests. So, now that's it's working, i thought i'd compile it all together and post the solution here in my blog - enjoy. http://javagwt.blogspot.com/2009/12/authenticating-android-app-to-google.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
