In this post you will learn from starting if you had never implement Twitter in android. You will learn how to share your text message as well as picture also.
In first stage we will learn what should be minimum requirement to integrate Twitter.
Updates :
Dear All i know that my last code was not working and that is due to Twitter4J lib and i have received so many comments to fix it so finally i have build same code with few changes as below.
1. Replace latest jar :
For latest .jar file you can download from http://twitter4j.org/en/ , once you extract the folder you have to replace twitter4j-core-4.0.2.jar & twitter4j-media-support-4.0.2.jar inside the /lib.
2. Fix the Bug;
In previous code i was updating ui (Toast Message) from background thread so that will cause the issue and crashing the application. Now i have update with runOnUiThread so that will not throw the exception.
3. Emulator Testing:
Add SD card size if you are testing in emulator otherwise that will throw Permission error.
And you can get latest code from my Git Page. https://github.com/khetiyachintan/Android-Twitter-Example
Follow the below steps:
Change your Two Keys & Run Sample

How to convert String Image URL to File or Image ?
