Callback scheme creating multiple windows in Android...

[tyrex1975]

I'm using the custom URL scheme in my web app to call Pic2Shop, with a callback to the same webpage.

Unfortunately when I'm using an Android device (KitKat/Chrome) with each call I make, the callback URL gets opened in a new window. So I eventually end up with lots of windows open.

I've tried closing the original window prior to making the 'pic2shop:' call, however the security model of Chrome prevents window self closure.

I also tried embedding some custom javascript in the callback to call the window.open(url, name) method and specify a constant window name, but it appears javascript doesn't work in the free client.

Is there any way of making the callback open the original window?

I am afraid it is not possible. We have had the same question on iOS for years, and it is just the way the OS handles the callback. The callback is a simple http:// link, there can't be any javascript there.

If you use the app "pic2shop pro", you can use its embedded browser and avoid the back-and-forth (and the new window).
