Android setting up credential using Google API


I want to create an Android application and using Google People Api. I followed all the steps on this tutorial: https://developers.google.com/people/v1/getting-started.

So I created a new project in Google Api Console, get the client id and client secret for a web application, set the consent screen oauth. Finally I tried to run the google code that use can see in the above link, but I get an Exception on creating "GoogleTokenResponse".

I post the exception even if I don't find it useful:

Has anyone had the same? Is there any working example? I need to use "Google Button Sign-in"?


Solution

  • I think you can try and use the following example: https://github.com/sdivakarrajesh/Google-Drive-Java-API

    It's for Google Drive Api but you can use the code for permission and then change the scopes.
