Did google provide some special things or how do you add Adv. in your apps?
There is no built-in API for using advertising; that was probably considered to be excessively monopolistic or anti competitive. There are, however, multiple providers for advertising for Android platforms; the one that is owned by Google is AdMob. There ought to be some documentation on their site as to how it works.
AdMob is one of the more popular in-app advertising SDK's and has been acquired by Google. I'd sign up for an account and take a look at their developer wiki and docs.
AdMob is One of the best api to put add to your application

I'm trying to implement ads in my application . I have two choices Google mobile Ads or Google Admob . Can someone tell me the major differences between them ?
Thanks in advance.
They both are same, but Google has announced deprecation of Android Google AdMob SDK
The new library Google mobile Ads has full support for the Android Advertising ID, and is compliant with the latest Google Play Ad Policy.

I dont think these are two separate thing !! They are the same concept. Maybe you are refering the different sdk versions but what i know is the curren sdk name is admob.
You are refering to one thing and thats the service google provides that you can earn money helping google advertise through your app.
And beside that, you can find what your users are like and find great information and statistics about their activities and their interests.
I'm developing an Android app where users must be able to authenticate and then make calls to the YouTube Data API.
I have no problems authenticating the users with their main account, using Google Sign-In everything is easy and user friendly, both for me and the users.
The problem is that some Google services (eg Google+ and YouTube) allow a single Google account to have multiple related accounts (linked accounts) (eg multiple Google+ pages or multiple YouTube channels).
Unfortunately seems that Google Sign-In doesn't consider this use case. Every user is forced to log into their main account.
In my scenario this is a serious problem. It means that some users won't be able to log into their secondary YouTube channels.
The only solution I have so far is to use the web-based authentication process. But this is obviously worst in terms of user experience and also means that I must handle everything by myself, with a WebView-based solution.
I've already built a small library that does everything, but Google recommends to use the provided Client libraries for a lot of good reasons. The problem is that all their client libraries have the same problem in Android. (The Google API Client Library for Java relies on the AccountManager for Android, therefore has the same problem of Google Sign-In)
Does anyone know if I'm missing something? is there a native way to authenticate the user secondary accounts? or am I forced to use the web-based authentication?
The same problem was addressed in a 3 years old YouTube blog post, is it possible that there's no solution yet?
Apparently at the moment there is no other way to solve this problem.
Here is the link to the library I'm building, in case someone else will have the same issue. https://github.com/PierfrancescoSoffritti/GoogleWebOAuth
Hopefully Google will solve the issue in the future.
Google Sign-in has similar limitations on iOS, but there's an alternative library,
Google's GTMAppAuth, that can be used instead. AppAuth looks like the parallel library for Android – would that satisfy this use case?
This SO question has some more iOS-specific info.
I want to add in app purchases to my Android app. I know I can use Google In-App Billing API, but I want to know if there are other libraries I could use that provide a more complete solution so I don't have to write as much code. I know there is Urban Airship but their fees are high. Anybody know of anything else? Are there any big names? Ideally, user would be able to pay using a variety of payment methods. Support for iOS would be nice.
Please note that Google policy differs between paying for virtual goods where you have to use Google APIs, or paying for physical goods where you can use other 3rd parties.
Also some countries are not supported by Google checkout so I guess in these countries you can use 3rd party also for virtual stuff.
This is a direct question so I will use my own company to answer
You can try ZooZ, both for Android and iOS

Did google provide any Api or SDK for this?
The API has now been announced at: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-started-on-google-api.html and the official homepage is: http://developers.google.com/+/
As of 29/07/2011, Google has not provided an SDK yet.
The only thing you can do for now is add a 'plus' button like the 'like' button from facebook in your webpages using javascript - look here.
EDIT:
As #ade said, the API has now been announced. so my answer is no loner relevant.
We definitely plan to involve developers and publishers in the Google+ project, but we don’t have specific details to share just yet. Please stay tuned and sign up to receive more information about Google+ developer opportunities. https://services.google.com/fb/forms/plusdevelopers/
You can only read posts using the newly announced Google plus API but you cannot share or access different circles.
More functionality is yet to be added to the Google plus API.
In order to effectively use the new Google plus API you need to authenticate the new user, so that you can serve large number of people or else you will run out of the API calls which are restricted to 1000 per day.
Does anyone know if Amazon has an open API for their Android AppStore?
Full disclosure: My team builds the Amazon Appstore SDK. Even though I work for A2Z, any opinions stated are my own, not my employer's.
As of the time of this answer, Amazon has a private beta for the In-App Purchase API. If you want access to the API, please fill out the form at:
http://developer.amazon.com/
You have to create an account to access the request form.
The current offerings for Developers that want to integrate Amazon into Applications can be found here. I have not seen a API for the Android App, or any other mobile App for that matter. Which would lead me to believe that they dont provide an API for that. I would suggest that you use the Web Service API, that may be able to work for you depending on what you are trying to do.
