    Hi,
    I have created a web application in wordpress, and for authentication I have used auth_redirect() in functions.php. Now I would like to write rest api to use in android app but unable in hitting api without authentication. So my question is: How to authenticate the wordpress user using android app.

    thanks in advance!!

    In order to use the default cookie authentication, the user needs to login using the normal web interface so the proper cookies are set. Naturally requiring such a login often defeats the purpose of having a mobile app. In such cases you should utilize one of the authentication plugins.
