Close browser programmatically about react-native-custom-tabs HOT 8 OPEN

Nope, just navigate to another screen of your app once you've been redirected by the OAuth flow.
Something like:

  componentDidMount() {
    Linking.addEventListener('url', this._authorize);
  }

  async _authorize(options) {
     // handle url with options.url, for example parse the parameters to get the authorization code
     // navigate to your app's home screen
  }

Hi @ataillefer
I'm trying to do that, however the listener is not triggered until I close the tab myself.
I'm using Wix's navigation if that helps.

I have this issue. You can't navigate in the background with v1 (maybe v2 too?) in the Wix navigation library. It just flat out fails. I dug into that a while back and found out the current activity reference they have is null when in the background and their navigation just noops. (enjoy - https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/blob/v1/android/app/src/main/java/com/reactnativenavigation/controllers/NavigationCommandsHandler.java)

When the custom tab is open, the app is in 'background' state, thus you can't navigate if using Wix (v1 at least). However, it does fire the 'appLaunched' event and you can call 'startApp' again. Unfortunately though, that means you'd have no access to the parameters from the redirect.

FYI forceCloseOnRedirection does nothing in this case.

I am surprised a bigger fuss hasn't been made about this considering RNN is one of the most popular React Native navigation libraries.

I get that. But the user is still on the browser screen right?

Well no, if you navigate to another screen of your app then you are no more on the Chrome Custom Tab.

@ataillefer and if you want the user to stay on the screen that launched the new tab? Is there a way to close it?

from react-native-custom-tabs.

Close it, technically, no, but in the _authorize callback from the sample given in #22 (comment), just use setState to rerender the current screen with any React Native components.

Hi Devs.. Anyone found any workaround to close custom tab once we redirect to our app?
Thanks in advance
