My app has 3 activity A, B, C. Activity A calls B. In B, I call Intent.ACTION_VIEW to do authentication with Twitter as below:
public static void DoAuthen(Context context, String CallBackUrl) throws OAuthMessageSignerException, OAuthNotAuthorizedException,
OAuthExpectationFailedException, OAuthCommunicationException {
httpOauthConsumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(context.getString(R.string.Twitter_ConsumerKey), context
.getString(R.string.Twitter_ConsumerSecret));
httpOauthprovider = new DefaultOAuthProvider("http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token", "http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize");
String authUrl = httpOauthprovider.retrieveRequestToken(httpOauthConsumer, CallBackUrl);
context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(authUrl)));
}
After authentication, My App is called back at activity B. Here B calls C.
Now if I press Back button, it will navigate to browser (which used to authenticate with Twitter before) rather than to B and then to A.
How can I resolve this?
Please refer to Tasks and Back stack in android. You can use two tasks in your application - in first one you do your business, in second - authorization. You start authorization with intent flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and use parameter android:clearTaskOnLaunch. Good luck!
I added the following flags to the ACTION_VIEW intent and it solved the going back to browser problem
consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(Constants.CONSUMER_KEY, Constants.CONSUMER_SECRET);
provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider("http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize");
String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, Constants.OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL);
Intent oauthIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(authUrl));
oauthIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
oauthIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
oauthIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);
In C you can override back button to go directly to B
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
startActivity(C.this,B.class);
moveTaskToBack(true);
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
