[android-developers] Deny auto close for captive portal dialog on android devices

2016-07-06 Thread Developer 
Hello,

I'm the senior developer of an wifi project offering free internet access 
to citizen in some regions.

Now on newer Android devices we are facing the problem that the captive 
portal dialogue gets closed as soon as the hotspot has unlocked full 
internet access for a wifi client.
For legal reasons a client must accept some terms before he gets full 
internet access for a period of time (24h for example).
But we also offer a free app so the user can get much longer access 
including roaming between different cities.

Therefore we would like to forward the user automatically to the Play store 
if he optionally selects "install app" in our captive portal dialogue. 

But if we unlock the clients session first and trigger a forward 
afterwards, Android detects free wifi access and closes the captive portal 
dialogue immediately.
The other way round, if we would just white list the Play store we could 
forward the client to our app entry but its now not possible to complete 
the login process because we cannot route him back.

Does anybody knows a possible solution so that we will be able to login the 
client but also to trigger a forward on click to the Play store without 
getting auto closed as soon as android detects full internet access?

Thank you
