What is "oauth:" Is that a standard scheme? What you are doing here looks broken, if some other app happens to handle "oauth:" then the user will need to pick which to launch. And if this isn't a standard scheme, you shouldn't be making up schemes for your app. They are a global namespace. And this is a good example of why making up schemes cause a problem -- you could very easily have a conflict with another application using the same name.
Anyway, the browser currently is not intended to be used in the way you are trying to, and I would strongly recommend against doing this. First because it is unlikely you will be able to get this to work completely correctly, second because there is a very good chance that your app will break on different devices since what you are doing here is not defined in any kind of SDK API.
