Hello,
for various reasons (32char pass is one) none of the options to add API key to EVE Droid suited me (probably I'm not the only one). Looking for solution I have created page for generating API Installation QR code (QR code with api installation link inside). Adding new API key is simple as scanning QR code with phone. That will probably work with any app that can handle installation links, like:
eve://api.eveonline.com/installKey?keyID={keyID}&vCode={verificationCode}

Site address is: http://eveonline.marcing.com.pl/
I'm using JavaScript to generate QR code so your API key stays in your browser.

I wanted to post that in topic about EVE Droid but it's locked....

Hope someone will find this useful :)

Cheers,
Martin

You know you can get install links for them through the interface itself?

Yeah I know, but you still need to log in. Personally I don't like an idea of typing long random password on phone, firstly cause it's loong (damn long) and secondly cause I don't see a point in doing this (I can see some security issues here too). That's why I've made that page...you log on your computer copy link or key id/code paste it and you got QR code in seconds. You scan it with phone and bam you got link inside your phone and you can use it in apps.

Cheers,
Martin
