Hi, I'm an android newbie getting my hands wet. I have developed a password manager app to store my passwords. I would like to know how i can send the stored passwords to the native web browser to auto fill the username/password fields for the respective websites. I thought about about some methods, but i'm not sure if they will work/possible in Android. Your help is much appreciated.
1. Use a bookmarklet to read the username/password from the password app and fill the fields in the browser. But i'm not sure if this is possible to do. How exactly can a javascript communicate with a local app on the phone? I looked at this example: http://apps-for-android.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Samples/WebViewDemo/src/com/google/android/webviewdemo/WebViewDemo.java but, here the app can only start a javascript (can it pass the username/password as parameters in this call?) in a local webview, not in the native browser. 2. Let the user click the particular site in the password manager and the password manager opens the particular site with the username/ password (constructing the url directly with the values) --> First, will this work. Second, even if it works, i think it wont work for https sites, since the url has to be posted after the session establishment... any pointers to how to go solve this problem would greatly help.
