How to authenticate users from sharepoint 2013 web service and active directory

Question

How can I authenticate users in a java android application using sharepoint 2013 and secondly how to authenticate users using active directory directly. I have to implement both the ways in two different applications.

I searched on Google but haven't found the proper ways to integrate them.

Answer 1

Azure provides an API for authentication for Microsoft Sharepoint. You can login using that else you can open webview for login of sharepoint. Then after login you can store cookies and you can use it as token in each webservice call.
