Lesson 1 - Getting Started

Build a basic Android App that signs your users in with Profile access. From this, you can get metadata about your users, such as their full name.

Lesson 2 - Going Deeper

Learn about the Google design styles for sign-in buttons, and how to get them to use in your own app. Customize your app with these styles, and learn about different scopes, including email scope, which only allows apps access to the signed-in user’s email address for identification.
