Is the Twitter client for Android using OAuth?

Since basic auth has been deprecated, is the official android twitter app using OAuth? It still asks for my userid & password & I'm wondering how they are retrieving the oauth token ?

Android client is using oAuth for twitter for example. User must login to twitter at least once through your app and get a key. It can be used several times and you dont need to get a key again.

Sounds like they could be using xAuth - http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth. It's an alternate method of authenticating via OAuth. xAuth access is restricted to approved applications, you can't use it unless Twitter says you can.
