As of the current SDK, you have two options I can think of: 1. You could try using startSubActivity() instead of startActivity() to launch the built-in Web browser. That will let you know when the user is "done", but I don't know what will constitute "done" in this case -- I've never tried the startSubActivity/launch-browser combination before. And, if you are relying up some state, such as cookies, being around for your own application, I don't know how this will help you. 2. You could embed the WebView widget in your activity and run the Facebook login through it. You can register all sorts of hooks into the widget via WebViewClient, including one that gets invoked whenever the browser wants to load another URL, so you have some idea where the user is in the process.
