... and the devil is in the details.
It seems as though all the current AuzthzModules use an http based
approach to requesting an Oauth2 token. I see this being done in
OAuth2WebFragmentFetchAutorization#doAuthorization method, where an
OAuthWebViewDialog is used to trigger the Oauth2 token request.
To use Google Play services to trigger an Oauth2 token request, we won't
use an http approach, but rather we start an activity to select an
account and request an Oauth2 token. Once the token is retrieved it can
then be used with the standard http Oauth2 API.
(One caveat: the google play services token response doesn't provide a
refresh token. I believe this to be a non-issue as the token request
process is trivial when using google play services (no authentication
step)).
I see to ways to implement this feature:
1) Generalize the OAuth2WebFragmentFetchAutorization into an interface,
and have one implementation to handle http-based token requests, and
second implementation to handle intent-based token requests.
2) Add a OAuth2AuthorizationConfiguration option to use intents instead
of http, and trigger a different workflow within the
OAuth2WebFragmentFetchAutorization#doAuthorization method if that config
is set.
My preference is for 2) because it's a) simpler, and b) it is really
only during the #doAuthorization method that we have a different approach.
Thoughts? I'll start with implementing approach (2) unless I hear
otherwise.

No, we are not using Google Play services API for now for OAuth2
in Android land.
But feel free create a new AuthzModule[1] for it ;)

Cool stuff Brian !
The AeroGear OAuth2 Cordova plugin relies on the Native
AeroGear OAuth2 Libraries, so maybe Summers and/or Daniel
could tell more about it.

Hey gear-heads,
I recently wrote a Cordova plugin that retrieves a Oauth2
token on
Android using Google Play Services. The advantage of this
approach is
it leverages the single-sign-on capabilities of android,
and the app can
retrieve the Oauth2 token without requiring Authentication
from the
user. I blogged about it here:
http://www.bleathem.ca/blog/2015/02/cordova-oauth-google-services.html
Using a promise-based API it's fairly trivial to fallback to a
traditional Web authentication/authorisation for the
Oauth2 token when
the google-play-services approach isn't supported.
I'm aware the aerogear team has a Oauth2 cordova plugin
[1], but it's
not clear to me if the google-play-services integration is
supported.
If the Aerogeam would find it useful, I'd be more than
happy to provide
a PR to the aerogear cordova plugin providing such
integration.
Thoughts?
