I want to implement authentication of following sites in my Android application.
Facebook
Twitter
Goggle
So far, I went through many solutions but
For Facebook, I need Facebook Android SDK
For Twitter, I need twitter4j
For Google, I have found some OAuth code
So if I want all these three authentications in one Android applications, the application eventually is bulked up by the code so is there any common solution to implement all these authentication in one Android application, some light-weight solution?
Take a look at this : http://kurogo.org/technology/
They have a module named Login. AFAIK, this module has support for SSO (Single Sign On). So, they should have login modules for SSO supported platforms. Google/Facebook and twitter does that. But so far they have not released any Android port of the same. But, as you might see, it is based on the popular MIT-Mobile middleware. Here is their github repo
Not sure this is exactly what you are looking for or something like that does exists. But its worth giving a shot.

I am going to integrate "facebook sharing" into an app. Basically a timeline post with a link and an image and text.
What is the difference between an elaborate Facebook 3.0 integration vs using the Android OS' share intent with certain parameters, where the latter allows users to choose between apps such as Facebook and it just works if the app is configured to use that intent.
The only difference will be a one line of code that will work with thousands of different app (and other social network) Vs bloating your app with Facebook SDK, hours of work, pain, bug for a less clean result.
;-)
Edit:
The Android Intent will also allow people to share on Twitter, Google Plus, and other websites if they don't like Facebook.
See this Facebook bug report, I guess you have to do it with the Facebook SDK.
Since they only allow posting a link with the share intent.
While using the Facebook SDK for Android, I realise Facebook uses their own dialogs with forms so the user can enter their information.
Is there a way to use my own forms and send the data to Facebook to authenticate? Or do I have to use theirs? If so, is that the same case for uploading pictures, posting on your wall, comment, etc.
I'm not sure about uploading pictures, but I ran into the same problem some time before with the forms and after a lot of research reached the conclusion that you have to use their forms. The only application AFAIK that uses custom Facebook login on Android is Facebook for Android (official application).
You might be able to figure out a way by tracing the URL that is being used by Facebook for authentication, but those sorts of hacks won't be reliable as Facebook may change the API on you. It sucks, yeah.
Here is some more information, Stack Overflow question Android -> Facebook login without a dialog?.
I have seen widgets and apps that show you status updates of your friends on facebook. Does anyone know if it is possible via a custom app to comment or like things from an app or is there no public API for functions of this nature.
Try looking at http://developers.facebook.com and that has all of the API documents you should need (look at Graph API, if that doesn't have it look at the legacy REST API). If there's something missing, request it using the bugzilla on that website.

Facebook have an SDK for Android, which your app can use to integrate with Facebook, and do the things you're describing
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk
I saw some topics here regarding facebook and twitter integration with Android Application.
I need help regarding, is twitter integration with Android App possible in real??
[I need to tweet on user's wall and all]
If i wanted to integrate Facebook with my App then whether i go as per explained in following link(and if this is the recommended way then how to implement this SDK):
http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?pid=146956
or
else i use Android facebook SDK available here on code.google.com
The official facebook SDK for android is here:
http://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk/
It includes complete examples of use.

In real? Of course! You could be able to tweet on the user's timeline. In this case, use the appropiate authentication methods. There are many ways to do so, this is one of them:
http://www.androidsnippets.org/snippets/24/index.html
You can also use specialized third-party libraries (like twitter4j) to use Twitter from your Android app.
I am having social networking application made by me, in which you can post comments, i want to facilitate user to one click share posted commented on user's Facebook as well.
I tried fbconnect-android is there any other way sharing comments on FB?
You now have the official FB SDK for android.
