Using Google Authenticator in a non-google android application

I want to use Google Authenticator as one of the security lock in my application. I want to know if there are public APIs available to use Google Authenticator for this purpose. It's a non-google android application which does not need a google account.

Thanks & Regards,

Sure you can. You don't need APIs, the Authenticator is completely open source, and doesn't need to talk to Google servers. There's also a convenient PAM if you're doing straightforward auth. Essentially, you need to get a secret key from the auth module that you enter into the phone app, and you're good to go.

See here for an example of using it to second factor ssh.
