Answer 1

You need an Intent Filter to a specific URL that your app will handle on access.

So you will redirect to something like:

yourcustomscheme://witterconnetcion?OuathToken=somoething

In the middle of the following page, it's described http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html
