Change login page for mobile SDK

Hello folks,

  

      I was wondering if there was a way for me to change the login site from the standard saleforce login to a custom login page I created. I tried modifying the production url in server.xml which is suppose to be use to access a custom server and the production login url in  the loginservermanager.java in the Mobile sdk itself. When I do that it throws a null error when trying to install the apk. Is there a proper way for me to change the login page or at least make my custom page the first thing in the app before logging into salesforce?

 

Thanks in adavance for any replies or views.

After some more research I would liek to know if I could change the default salesforce login to my own force.com site?

You can redirect it to any page using the approach mentioned here

Oh yes thanks for the link, but I saw this before while I was looking for an answer. The problem is to get the SDK to go to that site page. That is where I am stuck. I tried changing the the hardcoded url in the SDK to a different site but is did not work.

Have you tried overriding the getLoginURL() method in LoginActivity class? That should do the trick.

Hey I kow it been awhile, I've been working on some other stuff. But getLoginURL does not seem to be there. I tried changing the production URL in server.xml, and in LoginServerManager.java as well as changing it in loadingLoginPage in LoginActivity. It does not seem to be working right now I think I am going to experiment with CustomServerUrlEditor and see where that takes me.
