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!

SharedPreferences returns null values

Hello im trying to store and get values from SharedPreferences.
My problem is that when i try to get my values i get null.
Here is my code:
public class TwitterSession {
private SharedPreferences sharedPref;
private Editor editor;
private static final String TWEET_AUTH_KEY = "tweet_auth_key";
private static final String TWEET_AUTH_SECRET_KEY = "tweet_auth_secret_key";
private static final String TWEET_USER_NAME = "";
private static final String SHARED = "Twitter_Preferences";
public TwitterSession(Context context) {
sharedPref = context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
editor = sharedPref.edit();
}
public void storeAccessToken(AccessToken accessToken, String username) {
String token = accessToken.getToken();
String tokenSecret = accessToken.getTokenSecret();
Log.i("accessToken.getToken()", token);
Log.i("accessToken.getTokenSecret()", tokenSecret);
editor.putString(TWEET_AUTH_KEY, token);
editor.putString(TWEET_AUTH_SECRET_KEY, tokenSecret);
editor.putString(TWEET_USER_NAME, username);
if(editor.commit())
Log.i("check","ok");
else
Log.i("token","not ok");
}
public AccessToken getAccessToken() {
String token = sharedPref.getString(TWEET_AUTH_KEY, null);
String tokenSecret = sharedPref.getString(TWEET_AUTH_SECRET_KEY, null);
String userName = sharedPref.getString(TWEET_USER_NAME, null);
if(token != null)
Log.i("token",token);
else
Log.i("token","null");
if(tokenSecret != null)
Log.i("tokenSecret", tokenSecret);
else
Log.i("tokenSecret", "null");
if(userName != null)
Log.i("userName", userName);
else
Log.i("userName", "null");
if (token != null && tokenSecret != null)
return new AccessToken(token, tokenSecret);
else
return null;
}
}
First i use storeAccessToken() method.
I get good results for my logs.
Log.i("accessToken.getToken()", token);
Log.i("accessToken.getTokenSecret()", tokenSecret);
returning good values and for if(editor.commit()) i get "ok" at my log.
When i try to call getAccessToken() i get null strings
Log.i("token","null");
Log.i("userName", "null");
Log.i("tokenSecret", "null");
are triggered
In my activity i use its like this:
TwitterSession twitter = new TwitterSession(this);
twitter.getAccessToken();
Thank for helping
UPDATE1:
public AccessToken getAccessToken() {
sharedPref = contextTwitter.getSharedPreferences(SHARED, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String token = sharedPref.getString(TWEET_AUTH_KEY, null);
String tokenSecret = sharedPref.getString(TWEET_AUTH_SECRET_KEY, null);
String userName = sharedPref.getString(TWEET_USER_NAME, null);
if(token != null)
Log.i("token",token);
else
Log.i("token","null");
if(tokenSecret != null)
Log.i("tokenSecret", tokenSecret);
else
Log.i("tokenSecret", "null");
if(userName != null)
Log.i("userName", userName);
else
Log.i("userName", "null");
if (token != null && tokenSecret != null)
return new AccessToken(token, tokenSecret);
else
return null;
}
Tried this, not working.
I tried to access in my SharedPreferences though my activity and also failed

I too have noted this behaviour. From the invesitigations I performed it was only when exiting the activity were my results persisted to the storage area dedicated to SharedPreferences. From an I/O perspective this is consistent with the API nomenclature;
More generally...
Commit => I would like to permanently save these tentative set of changes.
Commit & flush † => I would like to persist these changes and reflect that in the storage now.
...importantly the simple "commit" definition never says "this is super-definitely going be saved to a real place immediately"...
Specifically on Android...
SharedPreferences...commit => "...writes its preferences out to persistent storage synchronously"
SharedPreferences...apply =>"...commits its changes to the in-memory SharedPreferences immediately but starts an asynchronous commit to disk and you won't be notified of any failures"
The conclusion
The conclusion I came to was that I don't have control over when an item is persisted to SharedPreferences storage. Rather, if I am accessing the variable I am saving within the same class/activity (whatever) I should be modifying that variable's scope so that it is accessible through the class where it is being used. In your instance assigning the token information under TwitterSession into a class level private variable. Hope that helps.
† Not sure if the mechanism under the SharedPreference storage has this concept but this community answer provides an interesting read nonetheless.

Try out as below :
public AccessToken getAccessToken() {
SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences(SHARED, MODE_PRIVATE);
String token = pref .getString(TWEET_AUTH_KEY, null);
String tokenSecret = pref .getString(TWEET_AUTH_SECRET_KEY, null);
String userName = pref .getString(TWEET_USER_NAME, null);
}

Please have a look on this code , hope it will help you

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.

I found a good example which works well with twitter4j 3.0.3 on android. Others do not work.

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 :)
