Make a token exchange authorization request with AppAuth-Android but NOT with customtabs












0














So, the entire premise of this question might be dumb and therefore moot, but here goes:



I have a custom IdP with a way to exchange oauth1 token+secret for OIDC Tokens. Its effectively a silent authorization request to switch already logged in apps from old system to the new. This all functions.

However, using custom tab to perform the request means it pops up the browser. When doing this on phones without chrome installed, the browser often do not even close itself as chrome custom tabs does after the request goes through. I would like to avoid this entirely by NOT using custom tabs to perform the request.



So, I used okhttp to perform the request. okhttp does not handle redirects to uris, so on response, I:



if (response.isRedirect()){
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse(response.headers().get("location")));
startActivity(intent);
}


This gets the intent to net.openid.appauth.RedirectUriReceiverActivity, however it now needs to check AuthorizationRequest request = PendingIntentStore.getInstance().getOriginalRequest(state);, and I cannot set the original request to the PendingIntentStore as it is not accessible in my custom performSilentAuthorizationRequest.



Should I clone AppAuth-Android just to hack in access to PendingIntentStore? I suppose I can also extend RedirectUriReceiverActivity and change it to use a stand-alone copy of PendingIntentStore that I can access. But effectively that's the same thing, just circumventing RedirectUriReceiverActivity's PendingIntentStore check.



All of this was started to prevent an ugly UI situation wherein the browser is unnecessarily popped up. So any suggestion that circumvent that would be welcome.
