Rails 4 API with devise and doorkeeper - Android app authentication

Question

I have developed simple Ruby on Rails based API. I want to use resources from my API with my Android application. My Rails backend uses devise and doorkeeper for OAuth 2 based authentication. How can I use authentication process from my Android app. Do I need to use WebView or ?

You should definitely use token based authentication. You should follow the guide from Doorkeeper's documentation, it's well documented there.

https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper/wiki/Interacting-as-an-OAuth-client-with-Doorkeeper

Also, you should check how to implement this on android.

Hope this helps.
