uri.getQueryParameter() returning null value

I have the following code in a class:

@Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView wv, String url)
        {
            if (url.startsWith(Constants.OAUTH_REDIRECT))
            {
                Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);

                String state = uri.getQueryParameter("state");

                if (state != null && state.equals(Constants.randString))
                {
                    String error = uri.getQueryParameter("error");

                    if (error != null && error.length() > 0)
                    {
                        if (error.equals("access_denied"))
                        {
                            //user chose not to login
                            Log.d("oAuthView", "Access Denied");
                            finish();
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            finish();
                        }
                    }

                    //Go back to MainActivity with authorization code
                    Intent resultIntent = getIntent();
                    resultIntent.putExtra("authCode", uri.getQueryParameter("code"));

                    setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);

                    finish();

                    return true;
                }
            }
            return false;
        }

For some reason I am getting a null value when trying to capture "state", even though I have made sure that it is in the URL. This means the app never enters the if statement that follows. I have also checked and the same thing happens when I try to capture the authCode. Any ideas on why they would return null?

Edit: For some reason when I try an alternative URL scheme, it parses correctly.

The URL I need to parse but doesn't work: http://www.website.com/#access_token=tokenstringhere&token_type=bearer&state=randomStringHere&expires_in=3600&scope=identity+submit

A similar URL that does work: http://www.website.com/?state=cnmdr6&code=tokenStringHere

What would cause the first parse to fail but the second one to properly parse?

If someone is looking for solution.

Your url is invalid because you missed the question sign ? before query in your url. Your url should look like this: http://www.website.com/?access_token=tokenstringhere&token_type=bearer&state=randomStringHere&expires_in=3600&scope=identity+submit Please check the documentation.
