PayPal Android SDK Version

Environment

Sandbox

Android Version & Device

No response

PayPal dependencies

paypal-payments-sdk = { module = "com.paypal.android:paypal-native-payments", version.ref = "0.0.10" }

Describe the bug

I'm passing the return url like "schema://paypal" when constructing native checkout client.

After the Paypal checkout is finished, I see my app is notified with URL like schema://paypalxo?token..... So SDK just operates with URL like with string and doesn'tadd an extra slash to URL.

To reproduce

See describe section

Expected behavior

The url slash is appended before the return parameters

@emartynov thanks for your feedback. This is a valid URL according to RFC 3986 (I was able to double check using this tool). The slash before the return parameters isn't needed. Closing for now.

Did I mention that it is an invalid URL?

Let me rephrase the behaviour and expected behaviour.

Current behaviour:

  1. I pass "schema://host"
  2. I get back "schema://hostxo?param=value..."

I would expect the following:

  1. I get back "schema://host/xo?param=value..."

@emartynov interesting ok. Let me follow up on this, I see the potential for confusion now.

BTW I fixed it in my codebase by passing "schema://host/" as a return URL.

It is an easy fix on Android - instead of treating the passed URL as a string, convert it to URI and operate on top of it by adding segments, etc.

This would be a nicer UX for users of the library. I assume the root case lies in the javascript SDK. However, your SDK as an intermediary level could make a small change here.

My previous message needs to be corrected. It doesn't matter if I add or not the trailing slash to the return URL.

I still get xo?.... concatenated without a slash.

@emartynov is this still an issue as well? I know you said you were able to work around it.
