Fitbit API Integration using oAuth 2.0 with chrome custom tabs in android

Question

I am building an Android app which integrates Fitbit to get user's data.

For integrating FitBit, I'm using Custom Chrome Tabs. When passing uri it redirects upto access page, But when I click on 'Allow', it displays error and not redirecting to the activity where I define intent filter.

I am facing issue with redirect_uri. I don't have any server so i put redirect_uri as ******://logincallback

      <activity android:name=".ChromeCustomTabActivity">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

        <data
            android:host="logincallback"
            android:scheme="******" />
    </activity>

SOLVED

<activity android:name=".ChromeCustomTabActivity">
       <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:host="logincallback"
            android:scheme="******" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Ehy dear, can you post code? I really interested in this part but I m new in android and I m really stuck. — theantomc, Oct 21 '19 at 21:53

The redirect_uri must be an exact match one of the values specified in your application settings(Callback URL). And Callback URL should be a public API that is accessible by fitbit, that can be a website url hosted locally in your system.

Check this:
