Description

Hi,

I'm trying to open RocketChat on webview on my Android App (I know that there is a native app, but a want to use a webview at this moment because I will use LiveChat mode to - available only on web) with the user already logged in. The first step that I did was to call the method "/api/v1/login" to get the userId and authToken. After that, is not clear for me how does can I use these fields on RocketChat call.

I've tried to use Headers ("X-User-Id" and "X-Auth-Token") but does not work.

My target is simple: I just want make a call (as this call, for instance: "https://domain/token/authToken) and shows RocketChat with the current user logged in.

Is it possible to do this?

Thank you very much

Research direction

Start with the /api/v1/login entry point and the Android WebView authentication flow described in the issue. Determine whether the returned userId and authToken can establish a logged-in web session, and document or implement the supported flow so the WebView opens Rocket.Chat as the current user.
