I'd like to be able to send a POST request from an Android app to App Engine and have it linked to the user's Google account.I read that you need to obtain an authentication token and send it with the POST request. Does Android provide a way to request this token?And how would GAE process it?I feel like this should be easy and I'm missing something obvious.

I am trying to post data to the Blob Store on google's app engine, this code runs without throwing any exceptions, but on the blobstore end there is no log on the post request at all. The server side stuff works when i post using a form (albeit with mime data). I have allowed my android app to use internet. This is a stab in the dark but if any of you folks might have had an issue like this before perhaps the problem i am having might ring a bell
View 1 Replies View Relatedway I can Authenticate a Google Apps User in a Android Application? One approach I know of is to take could take their username and password in a android view, and use the clientLogin interface (http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps.html). However I was wondering if there was a different approach, maybe pushing to a browser window where it would show the google login for that domain, but I would not know how to get the details back to the application, after the authentication is done.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the Google Data API for an installed application on Android 2.1. I don't want the user to have to enter their credentials if he already has an account configured on the device. Thus, I'm using the AccountManager with Account type "com.google".
But where to go from there? There are no samples from Google on how to do Google authentication (authTokenType etc.). There's a project trying to do it (http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator-for-android) in a general way but without any success, yet.
This is really keeping back applications like Google Reader clients which have to ask the user for their Google credentials (which hopefully nobody gives them).
I'm currently working on a project that uses Google App Engine as a server. I see that prior to the Android 2.0 SDK there was no way to directly access a user's Google Account information for the purposes of authentication. Do the new Account Manager APIs now make it possible to automatically log a user into a GAE app? Is anyone else working on something like this? Are there any publicly available examples on how to accomplish this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have spent two days trying to decide on a way to upload and download data to the Google App Engine. Do I use REST or simple HTTP post/get? Do I use JSON or XML? Do I use java or Python. I am thinking probably use python and probably use REST. But which one out there? There are so many to choose from. None seem to work out-of-the-box, but need faffing around with bits of code from here and bits of code from there. And is not clear at the outset what am taking on or what the limitations are.

The account appears in account and sync, but when I try to select the account for syncing, I am getting a hard database error. I am trying to figure if this error is on mobile or the app engine. Further, what can be causing this error. Another error that I am getting is failed to find provider info.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to write a client application for Android that uses the Google App Engine as a database backend.

View 5 Replies View RelatedA REST XML (not JSON!) Web Service should exchange XML Schema specified XML between a Google App Engine and an Android app. I wanted to use XStream for both, however, I could not get it to work for the Google App Engine, therefore to me Apache XMLBeans is the next best choice (JAXB does not work on both).
However, with Google App Engine there is no problem, but on Android, I get several severe exceptions (eg. due to the usage of the Stax API with its javax.xml.* packages). So, Is there any other XML-binding possibility to stream XML documents on GAE and Android? If not, is it possible to patch Apache XMLBeans to work with Android?
I need to write an application that sends data to the Google App Engine from Android. The data that I would like to send can be described by a typical database record. Each record has some integers, strings, dates, etc. I would like to keep the connection details hidden/secured so that someone can't create false data in the datastore, if it it's not too involved. My question is: what is a good way to get this data from Android devices into the GAE datastore? If you could post a link to the appropriate Android libraries, or a link to how this has been done in the past, that would be really helpful.

View 6 Replies View RelatedEven a "beta" SDK would be helpful. There are lots of app developers who don't necessarily know how to build cupcake from the GIT. Given that HTC Magic (based on cupcake, I heard) is rolling out real soon now, wouldn't it be nice to give the app developers a chance to test if their app is compatible with cupcake?Sure, Android API is supposed to be backwards compatible. However, there are quite a few bugs in the G1 that I had to work around with ugly hacks. Now I start to worry if those hacks would break on cupcake.

Is there an easy way to access "my maps" (that I have saved in Google) from Android 2.0 Google Maps App? Seems like there should be. I can go through the browser, and it takes a few clicks to get to there, but I can't even click anything when I find the map I want. It doesn't go anywhere, just stays on a Google screen with some text about the map.

My friends and I use Google+ Messenger all the time to send quick notes and photos. Over the past 3 weeks or so, any photo I take or post from my phone gives a Remove | Retry error and no one can see it.
I don't use MMS / SMS, so this is my only way of sharing photos. I've tried resetting the app, uninstalling / reinstalling. Tried different ROMS (on my Galaxy Nexus) and the problem is also happening on my wife's Galaxy S3.
Use that feature of G+ / Messenger?

Samsung Epic 4G under Sprint. I'm trying to add another Google account to my phone and it does not let me. Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to setup you account. This may take up to five minutes. Then, Can't establish a reliable data connection to the Server. Is this still possible now that google sync is in effect? We are using this second account as a shared location for picasa pictures and google Videos.
But I'd also like to be able to check emails in the account, but not under my native email client on the samsung or even the gmail client - I want no notifications for these emails. Is there an Android market email client (pop or imap) with a separate icon that I could install on the phone for ondemand email? I've looked in the market and their ain't much out there.
I've got working code that uses the gdata to retrieve feeds from my user's Google Finance portfolios, but I had to use setUserCredentials(username,password). What I'd like to do is avoid asking the user for their username/password since the Android device already has access to their Google account.
I believe I should be able to do this with setUserToken(String), but I can't figure out how to get the appropriate token from Android. I've tried AccountManager.get(context).blockingGetAuthToken() but that's either not the correct call or I'm passing it the wrong arguments. Has anyone gotten gdata working with the user's existing Google credentials on the phone?
