Android app calling rails 4 APIs

[Avi]

Hello All,

I have a Rails 4/Ruby 2 web application. There is an android app which will be calling Rails application APIs like Signin/Signout & others. What is the correct way to authenticate those request from the Android App which doesn't hamper web application?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Avi

Hi,

Is it like the railscast 352 using an API token ? I will give it a try.

There's several token based authentication gems...it's super easy to do
