    I preferred to launch the webview into a custom dialog and that way get full control over it. This includes using a WebView with a custom WebViewClient where the callback from authorization is handled in overridden shouldOverrideUrlLoading method.

    For a detailed example, you could check the FacebookSDK and how it handles the authorization page in a dialog: it’s a bit too much code to be pasted here.
