redirect_uri for standalone mobile app

[ylusjs]

I am writing an android mobile app to access the data collected by the band with no backhand server. whatever I do, I cannot pass the OAuth valdition stage.

No matter what I configure in the Callback URL (for example http://localhost:8080) I get the "Developer information: invalid_request - Invalid redirect_uri parameter value" error.

how do I need to configure the callback url to for a standalone android app?

If you mean you want the app to directly access the tracker data without going through the Fitbit servers, that is not possible.

Thanks for the answer,

 just to clarify, I am not asking about direct access to the device, it is evident that API is a server API.

My question is about the redirect_uri parameter of the OAuth.

to further elaborate:

It my understanding that the security validation process requires the developer to have some sort of server address that is put in the redirect_uri parameter and is called by OAuth at the end of the credentials validation process.

As a mobile developer (Android), my application does not require a backend server (all data is kept on the phone) so I cannot provide a redirect_uri server address as I have none.

Hence my question - what do I put into this (redirect_uri) parameter when I do not have a backhand sever I can use?
