Hereis my problem,
I make an Android application and i use Windows Azure.
I use Azure to make login activity with Facebook. It works well i can log in.
However i want to get the Name and last name of the guy who log in using Facebook.
I have no idea how to do it using windows azure, i check this web site http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosfigueira/archive/2012/10/25/getting-user-information-on-azure-mobile-services.aspx
But i don't understand it. Anyone got an idea on how to get the name and last name of the person who log in using windows azure on android ?
To get user's information from facebook, first User must authorize it. Second, you need to query this information using graphs api from facebook.
Here some tutorials that could help you:

I have developed an web application using google app engine.
Application shows this warning screen (This app isn't verified) when I try to connect with Google OAuth.
enter image description here
Please note that I have already submit this form : https://support.google.com/...
and I have follow this steps : https://support.google.com/...
i want to resolve this warning
Can't view the two links (assuming they're pointing to the conversations). From the screenshot seems like the app registered with Google to use the auth token and key needs to be validated first (I know this sounds obvious...). If the 'app' is not yet live then still you might need to first use sandbox details to develop it.
Hi I have developed an web application using google app engine, for google shared domain contact, Its working fine when I am running it in the localhost but when I deploy that application into google app engine it showing warning screen before user conforming for consent(as shown in the image).
I am using 2 scope http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/ and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email. when I try to add a user information in the google shared contact I am getting a exception message as www.google.com. How can I resolve the problem? am i need to verify my application in the oauth_app_verification. Can any one solve this?
Thank you.,
You need to go through the verification process before you launch your app. This new process came recently to protect user's data. You can start the verification by submitting this form but before it is recommended to follow steps here
I am trying to add some information from Steam into my Android app.
I see that Steam has Steamworks, but that is only built for Windows, OSX and Linux.
Furthermore, I saw that they also have a Web API that could also be accessed from a mobile application. But all the methods in the API require a 64 bit SteamID, which they say can be retrieved using OpenID. I downloaded the Google Oauth Client Library for JAVA but I reading through the documentation, I don't understand how I can get a SteamID for a user using this library.
Has anyone used this lib or another open source lib to get a SteamID?
UPDATE
To get direct SteamID64.
Login to Steam using a web broswer.
Once logged click on your profile and add ?xml=1 to browser url address
http://steamcommunity.com/id/yourusername/?xml=1 or
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/yourprofilenumber/?xml=1 (if you have not set a public username yet)
I think this is number in profile link or steamID64 example: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198113616635
Steamid will be: 76561198113616635
To check it online you can go to https://steamid.io/lookup
In Android app, I think after authorize, steam will give you that number and key.
Previously, in order to use Google Drive service, we are using the following simple username and password login in Desktop application with Google Documents List API
DocsService client = new DocsService(getCloudApplicationName());
client.setUserCredentials(username, password);
As in Google announcement, https://developers.google.com/google-apps/documents-list/, Version 3 of the Google Documents List API has been officially deprecated as of September 14, 2012. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but we encourage you to move to the Google Drive API.
So, in our desktop Swing application, we need to rewrite the code to gain authentication to Google Drive service.
By referring to code example run at console https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart-java#step_3_set_up_the_sample
Please open the following URL in your browser then type the authorization code:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=online&client_id=888888888888.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&response_type=code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
User need to open up the browser manually.
Key in his username and password.
He will then obtain a special string from browser, where he needs to copy and paste to the console.
I think I can pretty much simply the process, by using a web view component Integrating JavaFX 2.0 WebView into a Swing Java SE 6 Application, so that the above task will be automated.
However, the webview's component previous history session will be destroyed as I close my desktop Swing application. User need to key in his password and username every-time he launch the desktop app.
From official Google Drive app for Windows, I realize it does have the capability to remember the last authentication of the user. User just need to key in his username and password once. He can then use the Google Drive service again and again, even after restarting the computer.
May I know how I can achieve the similar behavior?
You need to permanently store web view's cookies and set them again once you launch the web view again.
I am developing an Android App where I require a user to authenticate his session before using the app. One way is to store a user name and password by asking him to register on the app and then use that to authenticate him. But i was looking to do something else, maybe use an OpenId account to authenticate or Opensoial or something like Facebook Connect. Any Suggestions and comments? thanks for you help.
Using OpenID is a great idea in fact. You can use the OpenID4Java library. As you can read here, someone has modified that project in order to make it Android compatible.
I know this is an old question but i found this while asking a newer question.
Just an idea but have you looked at the account manager? What version of android are you targeting?
The sample sync adapter example (http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SampleSyncAdapter/index.html) uses the account manager (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html)
It looks like a more secure way of using credentials on a native android client because you don't have to store the password at all locally in your app.
