I have a native Android app (Java) with one button. I want:
User taps Pay
MetaMask opens directly (no browser, no webpage)
User confirms this contract call:
function createGiftNative(
bytes32 secretHash,
uint256 cardAmount,
uint256 feeAmount
) external payable returns (bytes32)
txHash (or error) returns to my app
Problem:
Direct Deeplink only sends simple transfers — no custom data
metamask.app.link/dapp/... opens a webpage inside MetaMask — I don't want that
Old @metamask/sdk is deprecated
MetaMask Connect supports eth_sendTransaction with data and returns txHash, but it's JavaScript only — no native Java SDK
WalletConnect works but I prefer a MetaMask-native path
Question:
What is the correct way in 2025 for a native Android Java app to:
call a contract function with data,
get txHash back in the app,
without opening any browser?
Is WebView + MetaMask Connect JS the only official path? If yes, what's the minimal implementation?
