Recently, I released a few twitter wrapper apps. Apps that use twitter to do searches for specific #twitter tags. I found that while there was tons of information on the internet about how to do it, I still had quite a bit of trouble putting together all of the pieces for Twitter’s new OAuth Api. I found many great guides such as this post on how to make an android callback, or this guide on using the Signpost library. Through a bunch of trial and error, I was able to put together a working version that posts tweets to a twitter account. This is a code snippet from the Activity class for the submit tweet page. This Activity presents a user with a button to log into their twitter account. They are taken to the web browser where they give twitter their permission to use the app. At that point, they are brought back to this activity through the onNewIntent method. The necessary twitter account information is then stored in Android preferences objects for future use.
This is the static method call that does the post to Twitter. It uses Signpost to create a signed request.
Finally we register our callback in our AndroidManifest.xml
I wouldn’t do it justice to attempt to explain in detail what is going on here… instead I would recommend looking over the blogs I pointed out above. Feel free to email me with any questions you have. I certainly believe that since Android is an open platform, as developers we owe it to each other to help to make the best apps possible.
