User login issue from third-party android mobile app

Hello,
We are developing separate Android Mobile app for a Lithium community.
The community has openID SSO integration with other host.
We have authentication steps included in our mobile app, we are able to get sso_id of community user.
We need help to authenticate the sso_id in community and login that user.
How can we login a user into community from our third party android app?
Is there any API?

If anyone has worked on the separate mobile app for a community, could you please guide?

Any pointers/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Vaishnavi

    As luck would have it, we are currently developing  an Android SDK to assist you with this exact issue. 

     

    The lithium-sdk-core package will allow you to:

    * pass an SSO token to our code

    * rely on our code to generate an authentication token with the community

    * give you (de)serialization for various common APIs 

    * provide you a generic REST API wrapper 

     

    In addition, we plan an optional lithium-sdk-ui library that includes:

    * end to end workflow for community-backed mobile support

    * ui activities / fragments: (post, message, search, browse)

     

     

    Currently this project is in a pre-beta phase, collaborating with a select group of customers. 

    We intend to enter an open beta in January 2017. 

     

    Let's get in contact, would love to have you involved.  I'll reach out with a PM!
