* [Backend token endpoint](/client-sdks/android-sdk/getting-started/backend-token-endpoint.md): what your backend returns to the app, or the relay to use until it exists.
* [Authentication](/client-sdks/android-sdk/getting-started/authentication.md): the token provider and the client it configures.
* [First request](/client-sdks/android-sdk/getting-started/quick-start.md): a minimal app that searches for a food.
