Asp.net Web Api authorization from Android client

Question

I am working on a Android application which authenticates the user with Google+ sign-in. Now I would like to communicate with my web api to store and get data. What is the most easy way to implement authorization on my web api?

Before implementing google+ sign-in, users had to register with a username and password and I used basic authentication to authorize users with my server.

Currently (planning on)using:

Client side authentication with google+
Asp.net web api (no authorization for google+ sign in yet)
SSL

If anyone could make this process clear and maybe with some examples or webpages to find the information I need that would be perfect.

The Google+ documentation includes a full explanation of the REST API and its capabilities, which you can use to see what is available for your web implementation. Many of these methods include code snippets for .NET, such as the people.list API call.

There is also a C#/.NET quick-start that you can use to see how Google+ Sign-In works at a glance.

The PhotoHunt .NET sample: developers.google.com/plus/photohunt/csharp shows authentication and authorization against an Android client and web/mobile integration in ASP.NET.

Found this documentation already but will look in to the Photohunt which hopefully make things more clear.
