Hey,
I am trying to use google docs api and i need authentication for the same. http://blog.doityourselfandroid.com/2010/11/08/oauth-in-java-the-signpost-library/#more-55 Also, i just want to close the browser after i get the intent to another activity using intent filters, so that when in the next activity i click finish() i am taken back to my main activity. I think i got the solution. Thanks for checking this out anyway. ;) -- Cuil On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 1:45 PM, Kristopher Micinski <[email protected] > wrote: > See this page: > > http://www.helloandroid.com/content/useful-java-apis-android-applications > > <http://www.helloandroid.com/content/useful-java-apis-android-applications> > Kris > > > On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 3:13 AM, Kristopher Micinski < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> In general, having the standard browser "talk" to your application seems >> to be extremely difficult for a number of reasons.
