Apps User Authenication for an App

[Sudhakar Kamat]

Hello Team,

We have to develop an app for android device(mobile/tab). I am completely new to app development. My part in this to provide an user authentication for the app. I would like to know what all different ways we can authenticate user in app? Also if user logged in he should not be asked to provide credentials again and again?

Looking for some support on this front.

Thanks in advance.

Login name plus password is the obvious one. Provide an initial login screen in your app. Until the user enters correct details, they can't proceed.

Or you could just have the user enter a PIN, if it was a single user only app.

Thanks for the quick reply.
We are doing native app development, so i am looking some suggestions. Like do we have any inbuilt api's for authentication ? Also our initial design says user and password details must stored in db table. So looking for some sampels/example etc.

We are looking at facebook app kind of login. Like where user needs to login once and next time onwards user will be taken directly into facebook screen.
Any idea on this?
