Getting the oauth response in RedirectUriReceiverActivity

Hi,

Im creating an app that logs into my elixir backend server using oauth. I can do the request, get redirected and I can see that I’m logged in and receive my token from the server. However, I never get redirected back to the app and when I click back I always end up in handleAuthorizationCanceled(). I read that I need to set up my “scheme” in the manifest or build settings but I dont understand at all what that is… Im talking about this part:

<data android:scheme="https"
              android:host="www.example.com"
              android:path="/oauth2redirect"/>

Should I put my app’s url here? It currently runs locally on my laptop so I acces it via the emulator with http://10.0.2.2:4000 What should I put in here? Nothing I try seems to work.

Oh and I saw people saying put in com.googleusercontent.apps.<MY_ID_ADDED_HERE>, but my app is a github app, not google. Thanks in advance

GitHub does not support redirect to a custom scheme redirect URI, they only support redirect to https URIs last I checked. Custom scheme URIs look like com.your.app://oauth2redirect, where the com.your.app part is the custom scheme.

I have a demo of GitHub integration here:

Please read the caveats about security carefully. GitHub also requires the use of a static client secret, which is not advisable for mobile apps. I give some advice on that demo repository page as to how to integrate with GitHub securely, but it is not trivial and requires backend work.
