Issue description

I have a fragment

Hi @sreereddymenon thanks for using the Braintree SDK for Android. Can you provide steps to reproduce this issue so we can diagnose further?

It may also help to see a code snippet of your app's PayPalClient creation to help find the root cause of the false cancelation.

I think this can be reproduced by:

1. Complete the payment in paypal page, don't back to the app by deeplink.
2. Return to their app by switching manually.

Thanks @Hector1990. Can you provide a video showing the issue? The deep link should automatically bring you back to the application after completing the PayPal flow.

[Hector1990]

I provided the video here: #611

@Hector1990 thanks that video is for the popup dialog. This seems to be a separate issue where the user isn't automatically redirected back to the application? Would you consider this a duplicate of #611?

[Hector1990]

@sshropshire Sorry for that. They are two issues. I provided the video because if the deep link is not triggered automatically, you can manually switch to your app. And if your activity is not singleTop or singleTask, the canceled result he mentioned would be triggered.

@Hector1990 got it yeah that's interesting. Does it just hang? Do you have a video of the deep link not being triggered automatically? Only asking because I haven't seen this happen in or Demo application yet.

Hi @Hector1990 does this issue still occur in the latest 4.26.1 version?

[Chaos2805]

@sshropshire I hit it in latest drop in version - 6.11.0, which include 4.33.0

Are there any updates for this feature? @sshropshire @sarahkoop
Some GA merchants think if automatic redirection is not realized, it will impact the conversion rate.

Hi all - We just released the GA version of v5! In this version, the interface has been updated to give the additional browser switch flexibility. Would you be able to try out v5 and see if the issue is resolved?
