I've been trying to get the number of unread gmail mails with no luck.

I've read Gmail.java and gmail4j both links taken out of this site from this question: Android - How can I find out how many unread email the user has?

But still after having read all of that and a couple of other sites that talked about this particular subject my question remains:

Q: How can I get the Gmail Unread Count?

Sorry if it seams a bit insistent but I clearly lack the knowledge to find this out on my own from the source.

PS: I would like to clarify that I want to do it without having to ask the user for credentials.

Just 2 add some colors to the question let me show you the looks of my app.
