I am working on writing (and eventually releasing on the Android marketplace) a Google authenticator that will authenticate with Google and return a Google Auth Token (see: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/auth/overview.html). The ultimate goal is to have this authenticator mirror the behavior of the com.google authenticator that comes with the Motorola Droid.
This will hopefully allow developers to have such an authenticator available to them on the SDK emulator as well as end-users with any phone running Android 2.0 that does not have the official Google version of the authenticator (ie: custom ROMs, future phones that don't get the full Google package, etc.). Also, since there is no word on how long before any phones besides the Motorola Droid get Android 2.0, this will hopefully allow developers to start leveraging the new AccountManager APIs sooner rather than later (ie: via the SDK emulator). I have created an open source project for this endeavor (see link below) that contains the first bit of work I have done on getting the Authenticator writen. If you are interested in contributing let me know, I am definitely open to the help or if you can offer insight as to the proper use of the new AccountManager API or some place I am using it wrong it would be much appreciated. Worst case scenario I'll plug away at this in my free time and at least people can use it as a reference for writing their own Authenticators in the future. http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator-for-android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
