I have a requirement to display Twitter Tweets of a particular User Account on Android Screen?
Could any one Tell me procedure?
First of all you need to sign up to twitter and get an api key from https://dev.twitter.com/apps. Follow the steps there for signup. You probably also want a widget which will help you display the widgets in html - sample code for this is all over the web, just do a search for embedding a twitter widget. If you need native android functionality (not just web) you want to investigate a framework like Phonegap.

I want to use LinkedIn in my Android application. I am not sure whether it is right/doable or not but I want to integrate it without LinkedIn SDK. I meant to say, whenever user clicks on login button it should go to the web using webview and user will login there and it should come back. Then I should be able to access the minimal user information.
Just wanted to know whether it is possible or not!
Thank you
It's possible but you end up with a few issues.
If your app becomes successful you increase the chance of having expensive conversations with LinkedIn lawyers.
Essentially you'd be using a very unofficial and undocumented api which would be subject to change at any time.
If you're doing the project for yourself as research project or for your own internal business use then what you're looking for is to communicate between your native app and the webpage.
See search google with android javascript communicate with web page view
I try using this link this. In this tutorial i post my app link only my wall. But i want to share my app link to all my friends. Same like as a XYZ invited to you to try ABCapp only in notification bar. When click on it open google play store of my app page. I want to share my app app link to app facebook friends or selected facebook friend. How can i achieve this?
To invite friends through your app you can use App Invites. Before using this feature make sure to set up your Android Facebook SDK version to 4.0 or later.
You can take a look at the overview in this link
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-invites/overview
For the implementation you probably need this

If your app has a Canvas presence, you may also use the Requests Dialog on iOS and Android
If your app does not have a presence on Facebook Canvas: You may use the Message Dialog on iOS and Android, or the Send Dialog on Web
I assume you don´t have a Canvas presence? In that case you should not use App Requests.
Basically what you need is the list of all the friends of user on facebook to invite them. you can get ALL friends' list only if your app is in "GAME" category.
If not, then you can still get the friend list of user , but only some, not all. refer to terms friends and invitable_friends on facebook.
So, here are few things you can do (BUT NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL)
Change the category of your app to "GAMES" & you'll be able to get
all friend's list & then you can use WebDialog & WebDialog.RequestsDialogBuilder to invite that friends
give any link to canvas URL on facebook app setting. that link will be used only when user clicks your notification from web. that link won't affect your app in any way.
iam develop one app and up load to Play store, and create facebook account for that specific app.
Question: Is there any way to like a Facebook page using the Android Facebook SDK,? In one of the activity am create button when i click that button how to like My App Facebook account?
Edit:First is it possible in case possible how solve this issue? Any one have idea give me some suggessions?
see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/.The Facebook documentation for Pages has been updated and is current . You cannot like a Page via the Graph API, even though you can read the like count information. There are not an API for it, you can try this. like android application page in facebook from application itself
I'm looking for develop a simple application on Android to sign the user using either Google account, or Facebook account or Twitter account or a tipical registration inserting few personal data from the user.
Do you have any suggest to do it? Where can I find an easy tutorial for each account?
My idea consist to develop a menu as a menu in this site to login on it but into a application android.
I hope to have been clear, this is my first time in Stack Overflow.
WEll what you can do to create different menu Items for Facebook, Google , Twitter. Also you need sign-post library to sign your request. Suggest you to have a look through OAuth model.
There are no any method by which you can be make own login window. For login you should be follow this url. There is the example and Facebook api by which we can login in Facebook and make own Facebook Apllication also.
I'm adding social integration to my app, and am looking for general advice how to go about it.
At the moment the app is showing feed of particular Facebook wall (authentication handled by Facebook's Android SDK) and feed for particular Twitter hashtag. That's a start, but I want these feeds to do a bit more. For Facebook:
For long feed items, user should be able to "see more", including linked pictures
Links inside feed items should work and open in browser
Like/unlike feed items
Comment on feed items
Post on the wall (create another item in feed)
Similarly, for Twitter:
Links inside tweets should work and open in browser
Reply to, and retweet tweets
Create tweets that contain the specific hashtag
Since Facebook and Twitter both have comprehensive APIs and there are enough code samples floating around, this is all technically doable, but seems a lot like reimplementing Facebook and Twitter clients. That's a lot of work to get all the little details right, maintain code for API changes,
and not really in the scope of my app.
So I'm thinking how to avoid reimplementing Facebook and Twitter clients.
Idea one: direct user to mobile versions of the respective sites and be done with it. Downside is that user will have to go through cumbersome authentication, even if there are dedicated client apps already installed and authenticated on user's device.
Idea two: plug into existing apps using intents system: if official Twitter app is installed, use that to do hashtag search. If Seesmic or Twidroid or some other twitter client is installed, use that. As a fallback, open Twitter's mobile website in browser. Similar for Facebook. Downside here is that intents for "show facebook stream" or "search tweets for X" are not standartized. Most current apps don't even have documented ways to plug into them. Using undocumented entry points in those apps is possible but would make my app hacky and brittle.
So, this question, how you've been dealing with integrating bits of Facebook and Twitter functionality in your apps, or seen done by others?
Here is a good tip about how to implement twitter/facebook oauth:
Create new activity and name it OAuthActivity.
Create new class that extends WebView.
Follow the facebook developer guide for WEB applications (not mobile ones!) and implement oauth calls inside of your WebView. For Twitter use Signpost-core with signpost-commonshttp4 to get oauth (facebook uses its own variation of oauth so you need to do it yourself).
Override WebView so it closes itself when facebook redirects your WebView subclass to your callback url.
Use OAuthActivity to return OAuth key / secret to your main activity via RunActivityForResult.
This way screen orientation change will work; you will have same architecture for FB and TW.
I have implemented it this way, yet I can not share my code (it is licensed for my company).
When I added Facebook and Twitter integration into my app (shameless plug: Secret Message), I attempted to invoke an installed Twitter client app via Intent. It wasn't fun, because there is no such thing as a "facebook/text" or "twitter/text" Intent. I know some Twitter apps create their own, but they're not universally used or even known.
So the other option is to get a list of all installed apps and filter on those you want to display in a chooser for the user to select. But retrieving a list of packages and their user-friendly names takes forever. So I hated that option.
I ended up integrating a very simple GUI for both Facebook and Twitter into my own app, and just used OAuth to authenticate users.
I hope this helps you pick your direction.
implementing Twitter integration is pretty easy on Android (you can use Twitter4J which is a pretty nice Twitter Java Library to access the public web services).
To integrate tweeting/retwreeting is basic stuff once you have authenticated your twitter user (just have a text box to allow users to enter thei 140 characters and a button to submit it - creating tweets, retweeting, replying etc is all a matter of 1 or 2 lines of code using twitter4J). The link stuff requires formating your listview to handle weblinks and open as appropriate.
The toughest part of the whole twitter integration thing is getting the OAuth stuff done - there is a tutorial on how to implement twitter and the OAuth authentication stuff here
Unfortunately, I have never tried facebook integration, but hopefully someone will be able to help out with that.
