Where is it going wrong?

Write below code into your MainActivity file after setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
}
And below import statement into your java file.
import android.os.StrictMode;
good luck

The image given below.

Check your DDMS, you should have android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException exception in your app. That is because requestToken = twitter.getOAuthRequestToken(TWITTER_CALLBACK_URL); issued a http request on main UI thread. You should implement a AsyncTask class to handle the request.
AsyncTask class DOC: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

Alvin, you're handling the Twitter callback in the wrong place. The callback code should not be in your activity's onCreate(Bundle) method. Assuming you've followed a tutorial something like this...
http://blog.blundell-apps.com/sending-a-tweet/
... where you've added an intent-filter in your app manifest for your Main activity to catch the callback, the callback code should then be in your activity's onNewIntent(Intent) method.
Hope that helps!

Android Twitter integration using oauth and twitter4j

I want to integrate twitter in an android application and found many tutorials. Implemented 2 of them. But after implementing, when ran the application, I came to know that they use older version of twitter4J library.
Although plenty other tutorials are available but none of them is latest one.i.e. just 2-3 months older. I need a tutorial or example which uses latest twitter4J library version which is twitter4j-core-3.0.3.
My main aim is to allow user to post tweets on his/her account. But again, if user is not logged in then, I first need to ask for credentials. Also, if user clicks on logout button then I need some way to log the user out.

I solved the problem. I made changes to the code I found in a tutorial to make it work. Copying the whole code here. Just replace with your ConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret.
You need to add twitter4j library to your project's libs folder.

This is original code by Ravi Tamada. The changes I made are in MainActivity.java and AndroidManifest.xml files only.

I found a good example which works well with twitter4j 3.0.3 on android. Others do not work.
http://hintdesk.com/how-to-tweet-in-twitter-within-android-client/

This is the working example from my code , i am using twitter4j and also you don't need to set any intent in manifest since i use webview instead of browser.

To illustrate my comment above, here is my final working MainActivity class.
Pretty similar to the code above, the differences are :
the internal class OAuthAccessTokenTask, that includes the retrieval of the Oauth token and the user information
its callback onRequestTokenRetrieved(Exception)
Also, note that to get this to work you must declare a callback url on your twitter app settings, even a phony one. It took me a few hours to figure out the way it works.
When you check the twitter4j documentation, the first pieces of code refer to a PIN code you have to get from an authorisation webpage. That's what happens when no callback url is set in your app. It's called PIN based authentication and you don't want to use it on a mobile :)

Have you seen the sign-in-with-twitter github project, it is based on twitter4j and implements Twitter sign in for Android.
