How to use google account in my own android app?

Question

I have an Android app that uses data stored in the Google appengines data store. Each user has their own data. Im looking for a good way to use google account for authentication and as primary key in database.

Can I use the AuthToken generated by the AccountManager? What is the best way to do this?

thanks a lot, Ray

And yes, you can use AuthToken from AccountManager.
