I'm pretty new to Android / mobile programming.

Is it possible to create an Android App that talks directly to the Google Photos API without my own server / backend? I see most of the examples have a Java server, but for the simple app I'm trying to build, I don't want/need the extra server.

In particular, the part I'm struggling with is obtaining Credentials used in this class [1] from Android. I can't figure out how to get a refresh token, and the included code on github does not run on Android (only on a server).

Thanks!

  • you don't need anything except a Google Cloud Account with Enabled PHOTOS API and a serial key – Zaid Mirza Mar 18 '19 at 05:10

    Right, I already did that to get the Google sign in working, but I can't get a refresh token from that. The refresh token is required to instantiate UserCredentials, which is required to create the PhotosLibraryClient – Jonathan Mar 19 '19 at 04:19
