email - looking for Android Gmail SMTP Oauth example

Question

Why is it so hard to find an Android example of sending email using Oauth and Google Mail?

I am new to Java and Android and am having a hard time working this out. It is possible?

I have found this Gmail (or POP3) library for Android development

Which links to this http://code.google.com/apis/gmail/oauth/code.html

But no working Android examples to be found anywhere.

I would this this is possible. I have an app that sends email from the users Gmail account using this code

But my users do not like to enter their Google password in my app. And I don't blame them. In this day and age you would think that there would be an easy solution with many examples.

So, are there examples out there and I am just missing them?

TIA
