Android—OAuth on mobile
Interconnects
The Clover app associates the merchant with the mobile app and provides authorization from Clover to operate your app on Clover systems. The Clover app is installed on the merchant. The Clover app's ID and Secret are provided to the mobile app. The merchant provides authorization to their employee(s), the Clover app, and your mobile app.
The site URL is validated against a redirect URI provided by your mobile app during OAuth. The redirect URI must have the same base as the site URL configured for your Clover app. The site URL is configured on the Clover app. The redirect URI is configured in the mobile app.
OAuth flow
- Initialize the software development kit (SDK):
- Use the GoSDKCreator.
- Pass in your built configuration object.
- In the configuration object, include a CloverPaymentSDK.FullOAuth object for full OAuth Support.
- GoSDK attempts to recover a valid token stored securely in EncryptedSharedPreferences. If it finds a valid token, it completes initialization.
- If a valid token is not found, GoSDK initiates OAuth login using the system web view. This opens the login page in your configured environment for the user to log in. App identification information from your configuration is passed in at this point to ensure your app is authorized to log in for the merchant and employee.
- When login succeeds, GoSDK receives a code.
- GoSDK exchanges the code for a token, stores the token back into EncryptedSharedPreferences for future launches, and continues with SDK initialization.

}
}
Implementation
When your app launches, any stored tokens are loaded from EncryptedSharedPreferences. If there is a token, it initializes the SDK. If there is not a token, then it redirects to the default web browser for the user to log in. When authentication succeeds, the SDK receives the code and exchanges it for a token, stores it securely in EncryptedSharedPreferences, and finishes initializing the SDK.
