Great - some healthy discussion on the topic, thanks guys. I guess we've ended up at roughly the same point: we need to know where the token is stored and how to obtain it. If you see another related post (instigated by me) here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/th

The first option (Client Login API) still requires your app to get the google userid and password from the user. The second option (OAuth/ AuthSub) only applies to web apps (although I suppose you could launch a browser session). What would be real nice from my standpoint would be some way to stor

Yes, I am in need of this research also My idea was to use the Brightkite API but they are nto integrated with Google cloud so not the most ideal solution. My thrust was to use the clouds to avoid heavy server infrastructures and thus one of the huge costs of doing a Loopt clone.. On Nov 30

Sorry guys, I have no idea how what you're talking about relates to what I was asking. I'm not talking about making a clone of Android or anything like that. I'm familiar with Android development, and I am part the way through coding my application; my question is basically "where can I obtain t
