OAuth in Java on Android and OOB?

[Jan]

I have a short question, my plan is using OAuth in Java on Android to access goodreads; the thing I'd like to know before I bang my head against it is whether or not I'll be able to use out-of-band during the handshake?
I cannot redirect back to anything other than OOB with Android and the oauth-signpost library so it'd be good to know if it's possible!

Um... I'm not sure what that means exactly.


We use http and https. if you can make http requests and recieve the responses, you should be fine.

Thanks, my concern was that I did not know how to handle the callback in OAuth when the app is running on a handheld instead of as a web app but I figured out how to deal with that so I don't need to think about OOB callbacks. Turned out I can handle callbacks on Android using intents and quite easily too. Just had to find the right guide to it :)

Great!

Hi Jan!

I've to do an App for android and also have a problem with OAuth OOB ...
I'm trying to solve this for three days, but can't find a solution.

What was your workaround?

Thx,

Hi Andi,

Sorry for the late reply, you've probably figured it out already but here goes anyway.
I've gone the way the bostone blog describes it by setting up intents for it: http://dev.bostone.us/2009/07/16/andr...

I haven't had a chance to work on my app in a while though so chances are you're ahead on me there :)

So what's your app, is it open source? Mine's here: http://code.google.com/p/goodreads-an... in case anyone will find that useful.

I'm in the process of rewriting stuff though, turned out the app got a bit to slow for my taste so I'm reducing object creation right now and compiling in signpost instead of linking the jar (read somewhere that the JVM on target will not do native execution of Java jar files since the JVM is not the trademark Java JVM).

Regards,
Jan
