Hoang Minh Tien commented on WOOKIE-385:
----------------------------------------

Good point, thanks Matthias, I've update, when calling authenticate you pass a callback function as parameter
e.g.: 
oauth.authenticate(function(result) {
     // result['error'] : 'success' or other oauth error code
     // result['desc'] : string which describe error

     // you can implement custom implementation here
});

> The oAuth authorization step could be better integrated into widgets' workflows. Two different actions could be taken:
> 1. Allow to show the authorization page in an iframe. The iframe could be shown as an overlay within the widget and not as a popup (which disrupts and also has usability issues on mobile devices).
> 2. Offer developers some callback function when calling oAuth.authenticate() that is called when the process has completed. For my widget, I am currently using the construct:
> oAuth.authenticate();
>    
> var timer = setInterval(function() { 
>   if (oAuth.status == "F") {
>       alert("Could not load contacts.");
>       clearInterval(timer);
>   }
>   else if (oAuth.status == "A") {
>       loadGoogleContacts();
>       clearInterval(timer);
>   }
> }, 500);
> Usually, one wants to load data immediately after access has been granted (or denied). I guess that other developers will want something similar, so maybe integrate it into the oAuth library?
