Android Question Google Drive / Oauth - handling if they close the permissions web page?

Dave O · Jan 25, 2021

Thanks to this post about Google Drive from @fredo , I've got Google Drive working in my app for backing up and restoring data files.

Question: What happens if the user, when they're prompted by OAuth2 to authenticate (login with their Google account and give my app permission to access their Google Drive), close that web page?

It returns to my app, but I don't see any event or other way of discovering that they cancelled the permission intent. Is there one?

Thanks!

Assuming that it is based on: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-b4x-google-oauth2.79426/#content

You can make this code return False when IsNewOAuth2Intent returns False.

B4X:

Public Sub CallFromResume(Intent As Intent)
    If IsNewOAuth2Intent(Intent) Then
        LastIntent = Intent
        ParseBrowserUrl(Intent.GetData)
    End If
End Sub

This will allow you to know the state in Activity_Resume.
