Yes, you can use OAuth in Android. There's a fairly detailed post on this:

• OAuth in Android using the Google APIs Client Library for Java

There are also two other Java libraries that you might consider for this purpose:

• Scribe Java API (also supports using several other identity providers)
• OAuth Signpost
