Package net.openid.appauth Description

AppAuth for Android.

AppAuth for Android is a client SDK for communication with OAuth2 and OpenID Connect providers. It strives to directly map the requests and responses of those specifications, while following the idiomatic style of the implementation language. In addition to mapping the raw protocol flows, convenience methods are available to assist with common tasks like performing an action with fresh tokens.

The library follows the best practices set out in OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps including using Custom Tabs for the auth request. For this reason, WebView is explicitly not supported due to usability and security reasons.

The library also supports the PKCE extension to OAuth which was created to secure authorization codes in public clients when custom URI scheme redirects are used. The library is friendly to other extensions (standard or otherwise) with the ability to handle additional parameters in all protocol requests and responses.
