Java wrapper around the Pocket API for Android
###Cloned by gregko Aug. 1, 2014:
Added PocketTest app. Actually to test apps now: PocketTestBrowser, which shows the recommended way of doing Pocket authentication, and PocketTestWebView, a better way - avoiding ugly flash - but read the concerns below:
If the user already authorized the app for Pocket access, using the platform default browser for authentication causes an ugly flash on the screen: our own activity being shown, followed by a quick show of the default browser when we authenticate to https://getpocket.com/auth/authorize?blah, followed by a return to our own activity again.
Found a way to avoid it by using WebView control, see PocketTestWebView app. However, this is against Pocket's API guidelines, which say:
Please send the user to the URL via their default browser in a new tab; do not present this page in a webview or screen within your application. Doing so violates Pocket's API guidelines. If you feel like your app should have an exemption, please contact us at api@getpocket.com with your request.
(see http://getpocket.com/developer/docs/authentication)
So, one must ask Pocket for permission to use WebView, or live with the ugly flash...
