Android Twitter oAuth with Twitter4j (without signpost)

DCrowley 24 Comments

Basic Code for Twitter oAuth for Android works with any version of Android I have tested it against – will crash if no Internet access but adding a check for this is relevantly simple (wanted to keep the code just about the oAuth process – the core idea and code comes from this blogpost

Constants Code you need to enter your own Twitter Developer keys here

package me.crowleydavid.android.basicoauth;

public class Constants {

    public static final String CONSUMER_KEY = "************";
    public static final String CONSUMER_SECRET= "**************";

TwitterWebviewActivity Code

package me.crowleydavid.android.basicoauth;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class TwitterWebviewActivity extends Activity {
    private Intent mIntent;
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.twitter_webview);
        mIntent = getIntent();
        String url = (String)mIntent.getExtras().get("URL");
        WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        webView.setWebViewClient( new WebViewClient()
        {
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
            {
                if( url.contains(getResources().getString( R.string.twitter_callback )))
                {
                    Uri uri = Uri.parse( url );
                    String oauthVerifier = uri.getQueryParameter( "oauth_verifier" );
                    mIntent.putExtra( "oauth_verifier", oauthVerifier );
                    setResult( RESULT_OK, mIntent );
                    finish();
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });
        webView.loadUrl(url);

Android Manifest needs these permissions

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
