Is there a way to implement oAuth flow without actually launching browser or even a webview on android?
What I want to show is a native Popup which asks user credentials and then supply it to oAuth provider.

Strictly speaking no, the main idea with OAuth is that you should never handle the user’s credentials in any way.
But it depends on the provider. Twitter for example uses their own invention xAuth where you send the username and password in exchange for an access token. Twitter only allows this for applications that can motivate that need very well though.
So check with the API provider if it is possible in some way.
