If you want to use Google as an identity provider for your site, you need to use OpenID as described here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OpenID There is an option to use OAuth for authentication, which is still experimental: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login If you decide to use OAuth2 for authentication you can get the token using AccountManager. Use one of these token types: "oauth2:https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"; or "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"; You can validate the token in your webapp by posting it to https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/tokeninfo. Certainly possible, but might not be trivial depending on what you want your website to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
