I have been checking around the web, and havent found a clear cut answer. What im trying to do is authenticate against windows azure active directory tenants in an android app. The authentication protocol isnt an issue, but i was thinking that saml 2.0 would be prefered.
*I have been able to do this in .net quite simply. so if the above is not possible, i was wondering if creating a web app using .net and the using this app in android to authenticate by detecting cookies.
*Note im quite new to authentication and android in general, so i would love any pointers u can give me. Thanks in advance.
I was looking for the same thing. I found this website from Mircorsoft which has steps to add in authentication to your Android app.

I have been trying to learn how to create an app that allows people to upload images via the web or android.
I know that Android uses content providers to implement a mechanism for the sharing of data between applications. More specifically, Android uses the MediaStore API to make use of this functionality. However, that is limited to other Android devices.
I was wondering how I would go about connecting a web app made using reactjs to an Android app preferably using firebase. However, if it isn't possible in firebase that would be okay too,
I am a beginner in web app development, so I am not particularly sure about how the software's architecture will look like.
I have been struggling to find an updated concise solution online. Can anyone point me in the right direction and if not point me to some resources that will guide me in the right direction.
Thank you!
Attach/configure both of your application to use same database and storage bucket in firebase
As you can see I connected my android application as well as web administration application to same firebase project.
As you can see there is an add app option in firebase console where you can select platform. Register both of your application on same project and thats it.
I have to build an android hybrid application with rails using turbolink but could not find any simple example, i have no experience with java, but a good experience with rails.I found one video but not of much help.
Please suggest and share the links to create some basic example apps. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
If you want it to be downloadable from the play store and not just a phone browser app, my best advice is probably to spin up a new React Native app that manages your front-end views, and makes API requests to your backend Rails app. Your Rails app would not deliver views to your React Native, it would deliver JSON. React Native apps can be released to both the iOS and Android app stores.
There are tons of good tutorials to achieve that. Hope it helps.
I'm working on react-native app project I need to use login with social networks and get access token of each others. I have problems with some packages i need the best way and cross platform (iOS, Android).
I don't know if there is a one-for-all solution to this problem that integrates well with RN. I've been recently working with the Facebook SDK, which enables Facebook Login in your application. It's fairly easy to set up, and it might be a good starting point for you. As for other social networks, I'd suggest you go over each one and find a way that does the job. Here are some packages that might help you:
LinkedIn

I want connect sales Force from my Android Program please suggest which one is correct way to achieve this I am new to sales Force I have some knowledge in Android Application Developement.
Thanks in Advance.
You definitely want to use the REST API for mobile apps. The SOAP API is really heavy, and is better for Server-to-Server integrations. The best way to get started building an Android app for Salesforce.com is to take a look at the Salesforce Mobile SDK for Android:
http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Mobile_SDK
There's a very helpful getting started PDF linked on that page.
However, the SDK is meant mostly for starting new apps, so you'll have some work ahead of you integrating it into an existing application. The main things you want are the oAuth 2.0 User-Agent login and REST wrappers.
You may also find this app useful -- I put it together for a presentation at Dreamforce '11, which was shortly before the Mobile SDK for Android came out, so I wrote the oAuth and REST stuff myself. Might be a simpler starting point for you.

Hope that helps!
You can either use the RESTful interface or the SOAP webservices. The latter is a bit easier to deal with IMHO.
Under setup in salesforce, download the partner or enterprise WSDL (partner = generic, enterprise = specific for your SF-instance). Now with wsdl2java you can create Stubs for those wsdl entries. Import those into your android app and use them. See here for a Java Exampe by Salesforce.com.
Be sure your user has the permission to "do API". You might want to look into SSO if you want to make a "production"/commercial app. Also, to login, remember to use the correct password, you might need to add the API key (generate using the Setup tab in SF). Hope this helps.
Try checking out some of the open-source SDK projects the developer evangelists have added to the forcedotcom github
Lots of good examples on different platforms, including android with phonegap/html5 and a native SDK for android (iOS and Android) to get you past authentication and onto building your app.
Salesforce Provides mobile SDK for development on mobile device, here is the link for android SDK:
http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Getting_Started_with_the_Mobile_SDK_for_Android
You need to:
Download SDK.
Add a sample project included in SDK's native/SampleApps folder(make sure you check include to the workspace while importing the project).
Get your remote access form salesforce and update in your app.
--This should get you started with a sample app form salsforce.
After this you need to modify existing code to your own code.
You can go to trailhead and start browsing on it, while working with your own application you will have to learn a lot about smartStore and smartSync,
I did implemented A smartStore App with using salesforce as database provider, if you want i can upload it to drive and share a link to you and
if you have any doubts about using or understanding the flow be free to ask..
It has been a couple of weeks and I am having so much trouble making C2DM work. I've read a million guides and watched video tutorials but have had no luck. I just need a way to communicate with my server and my phone in the simplest way. Any help?
If you're still interested in trying C2DM, try installing the Google Plugin for Eclipse and use it to generate the Android / App Engine sample project. It should be able to generate a skeleton project that is able to communicate between AppEngine and a basic Android application. You could verify that the sample works and use it as a basis to debug your custom application.
There was also a related AppEngine + Android session at Google I/O this year.
The easiest way to get push into your app is to use a third party push provider like Urban Airship or Xtify. Instead of writing the code to interface with google directly you integrate the third party SDK into your app and they handle the messy stuff.
Additionally, you don't have to worry about scaling if your app gets (or already is) big. And going cross-platform (iOS, Blackberry) is that much easier.
