How I fixed it: I think part of my problem was I was also using the username entered by the user to look up their albums. When they entered the non-gmail email address instead of the username they had created I was getting no albums in return. It also seemed to not let the account login but I may be incorrect about that.
My solution: I go thought a username check when the user first sets up their account: 1. do a request for albums withough credentials using the username/ email address supplied by the user 2. that will return a public album list for that user (possibly empty) if the username exists. In that response there is also the username tied to the account. I replace the user-supplied username with the username from this feed. 3. I then authorise with the feed-supplied username and user-supplied password. This seems to work in most cases The added benefit to this is that I can check seperatley for a valid username and valip password and inform the user which one is incorrect. With big album feeds this is a little slow, but i need those feeds for my app anyway so its not too much of an issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Picasa Web Albums API" group.
