I'm trying to achieve https://mobikul.com/use-safariviewcontroller-callback-url-objective-c/ on Android, where "sourceApplication" is checked in the iOS example and only allows an SFSafariViewController to redirect back to the application (presumably it's a SFSafariViewController instantiated by the app...but that's another question!).
I am having trouble achieving parity in Android. In my app, BrowserActivity
opens up a Chrome Custom Tab, which redirects back to the CallbackActivity
from the HTML. Chrome / any browser on phone, I find, is also allowed to redirect back to CallbackActivity
if I just enter the correct URL schema, and that's bad news! It seems like there should be a whitelist mechanism in the manifest to only allow a Chrome Custom Tab opened from my application to redirect back to my activity, while disallowing anybody else. I can not set android:exported="false"
on CallbackActivity
in the manifest because that breaks the redirect capability from my application. How does one achieve this?
Here's what I've got for the Android manifest:
<activity android:name="com.epicgames.ue4.SplashActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:debuggable="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.epicgames.ue4.GameActivity" android:exported="false">
<meta-data android:name="android.app.lib_name" android:value="UE4" />
</activity>
<activity android:name=".BrowserActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".CallbackActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="customscheme" android:host="callback" />
</intent-filter>
And here's what I've got for the relevant activities:
public class BrowserActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
final Uri uri = Uri.parse(getIntent().getStringExtra("url"));
final CustomTabsIntent intent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder().build();
intent.intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
intent.intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
intent.intent.setData(uri);
startActivity(intent.intent);
}
}
public class CallbackActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
//TODO validate only chrome custom tab HTML, started from my app, redirected here
//getCallingPackage() is always null and referrer host can be spoofed...how to?
final Intent intent = new Intent(this, com.epicgames.ue4.GameActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
