Although this is not part of the license (I'm not sure whether I want to add it), I request that you notify me if you do in fact use this code in any way. It always helps to know that someone else is using my work :)
All java source files required are in the package com.gopalkri.appengineandroid.
You will need to add a few things to your AndroidManifest.xml.
- Add permissions
- android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
- android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
- android.permission.INTERNET
- Add activities
- com.gopalkri.appengineandroid.AppEngineActivity
- com.gopalkri.appengineandroid.AuthenticationActivity
You will also need to add a layout xml file to your project: res/layout/appengine.xml.
The interface to AppEngineAndroid will be exposed via the AppEngine class. AppEngine is a Singleton, but it's construction is non standard. The way to construct the AppEngine instance is to start AppEngineActivity for result with requestCode AppEngineActivity.SETUP_AUTH. AppEngineActivity will do what is needed and return. It will call setResult with either AppEngineActivity.RESULT_OK or AppEngineActivity.RESULT_FAILED. Once AppEngineActivity returns, you can get an instance of AppEngine via it's static method getInstance(). Note that getInstance() will return null if something went wrong with its creation.
See the com.gopalkri.appengineandroid.test.Home Activity for an example.
