Android : Handle OAuth callback using intent-filter
- by Dave Allison
I am building an Android application that requires OAuth. I have all the OAuth functionality working except for handling the callback from Yahoo. I have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:host="www.test.com" android:scheme="http"></data>
</intent-filter>
Where www.test.com will be substituted with a domain that I own. It seems :
This filter is triggered when I click on a link on a page.
It is not triggered on the redirect by Yahoo, the browser opens the website at www.test.com
It is not triggered when I enter the domain name directly in the browser.
So can anybody help me with
When exactly this intent-filter will be triggered?
Any changes to the intent-filter or permissions that will widen the filter to apply to redirect requests?
Any other approaches I could use?
Thanks for your help.
