B4J Question Connection Refused Error for Google OAuth2 on local host

Tim Chapman · Monday at 11:47 PM

I am using the B4XGoogleContacts code from here:

[class][B4X] Google OAuth2

GoogleOAuth2 class is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J (new). It is no longer possible to use WebView to implement Google's OAuth2 authentication. The solution is to open the default browser and set the redirection uri in such a way that the browser will redirect the response back to our app...

www.b4x.com

When run it with my google Client ID and Secret with the code otherwise unmodified, it gives an Connection Refused error when it tries to connect to my local server.
I disabled my firewall completely and still got the same.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

In the B4J implementation, a very simple http server is created and the browser redirection takes it to that server. Firewalls shouldn't matter as this is a localhost url.
I just tested it and it works.

See if there is anything in the logs.

Hi Erel,
I am getting nowhere with this so far. I will have to fiddle with this some more. I click Display Data in the app. A few prompts come up to which I respond Continue. I click the box to allow google to give my birthday then continue. It just churns and does not complete the request. I did get some log results but I don't know how I got them I will let it churn overnight and see if it gives the log results again. I did not capture the log results last time, but I will if I see them again.
