Callback method?

To allow the user to authenticate himself, i pass on a url to the browser using intent. Then when verified the browser returns a token back to a callback class. This is perhaps easier to use for authentication. I would be glad to know of other ways as well. (:

How?

With regards to your subject line, you cannot close the browser. That
is another application -- you have no more rights to close some other
application than other applications have the right to close yours.

Oh...yes, agreed.  absolutely.

Off the cuff, I would think that this sort of authentication would
work better with a WebView widget, so you can control this stuff
better. Then again, I have not tried it.

i want my previous activity to be shown instead of the browser when i click back in the newer activity (the one which comes after the authentication).

just wondering : correct me i am wrong, if i say create an intent of my previous activity and use startActivity (intent_name), all the data stored in the previous activity would be lost ?
