I had successfully integrate twitter API and I am able to post text from my device but I want to know two things
Is is possible to post Image on twitter using API in Android ?
In twitter we used OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN and OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET tokens.I passing token values on second argument in below code is it ok ? or I have to leave it blank ?
String token = prefs.getString(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN, OAuth_token_key);
String secret = prefs.getString(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, OAuth_token_secret);
I searched to know whether is it possible to post image on twitter using twitter API in Android but I have not found any link that I know whether it is possible or not.
I got one similar post image issue for iPhone and there is a answer also. I don't know about iPhone so I can't know weather it is right answer or not.Here is a link of similar question of post image for iPhone
Please help me out from this issue.
Yes You can post the Image on the Twitter.
AIK, there are two methods to upload the photo to the Twitter.
With First you have to implemente the Twitter API and use this Link to upload the Photot to the Twitter.
Sorry for the Example. as i dont get any example for how to use this.
With Second you can do this with the help of the twitPic4j API.
Just add the API for twitPic4j and write below code to upload the photo.
Code:
File picture = new File(APP_FILE_PATH + "/"+filename+".jpg");
// Create TwitPic object and allocate TwitPicResponse object
TwitPic tpRequest = new TwitPic(TWITTER_NAME, TWITTER_PASSWORD);
TwitPicResponse tpResponse = null;
// Make request and handle exceptions
try {
tpResponse = tpRequest.uploadAndPost(picture, customMessageEditText.getText()+" http://www.twsbi.com/");
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please enter valid username and password.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
catch (TwitPicException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Invalid username and password.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please enter valid Username and Password.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
// If we got a response back, print out response variables
if(tpResponse != null) {
tpResponse.dumpVars();
System.out.println(tpResponse.getStatus());
if(tpResponse.getStatus().equals("ok")){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Photo posted on Twitter.",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//picture.delete();
}
}
Above code works in for my case.
Hope you got the sollution with the second one and i dont know how to use the first one.
Enjoy. :)
Updated
If still it not works for you and try some project listed below:
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Hope that will help you.
Happy Coding.
==================================
FOR erdomester and Updated answer
==================================
Please check my first link given with Example1 and its api: Twitter4J
So, if any library that stop giving functionality to upload image on twitter, you can use other library for same. Please check and read regrading Twitter4j.
Check Twitter4J API to upload file to Twitter: Twitter4j Image Upload
For instance help you can also check below code to upload image file on Twitter.
Code to upload Image:
/**
* To upload a picture with some piece of text.
*
*
* #param file The file which we want to share with our tweet
* #param message Message to display with picture
* #param twitter Instance of authorized Twitter class
* #throws Exception exception if any
*/
public void uploadPic(File file, String message,Twitter twitter) throws Exception {
try{
StatusUpdate status = new StatusUpdate(message);
status.setMedia(file);
twitter.updateStatus(status);}
catch(TwitterException e){
Log.d("TAG", "Pic Upload error" + e.getErrorMessage());
throw e;
}
}
I hope this will help you more for your query.
Thanks to eredomester to notify me that tweetpic is no more working for Twitter. But please dont do downvote to answer untill you have not fully search on the given reply. Given library Twitter4J in Example1 gives clear idea about uploading image to twitter and you can easily implement it.
For more help and code you can also check: Twitter Upload media
Note: To use this please make sure you have latest jar file. I have used twitter4j-core-2.2.5.jar or more for this.
Please comment me instead of downvoting this answer, if you facing any issue in this.
Is is possible to post Image on twitter using API in Android ?
Yes you can upload Images to Twitter after successful Authentication Using Twitter Media Uplload.
In twitter we used OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN and OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET
tokens.I passing token values on second argument in below code is it
ok ? or I have to leave it blank ?
You should add both Token and Token Secret Key it will be useful for setTokenWithSecret methos of Tiwtter in which you have to send both Token and Token Secret..
Yes you can post image on twitter using Twitter api like twitter4j but I will suggest you to do using HttpPost class and DefaultHttpClient class because its good in practice and you dont need to add any external twitter api to it.

I am trying to get the image URL from the Dropbox and I followed the below code from the documentation.
try {
Entry directory = dropboxApi.metadata("/", 1000, null, true, null);
directory.mimeType = "image*//*";
for (Entry entry : directory.contents) {
DropboxAPI.DropboxLink link = dropboxApi.media(entry.path, false);
if (link.url.contains(".jpeg") || link.url.contains(".png") || link.url.contains(".jpg"))
files.add(link.url);
}
} catch (DropboxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Based on this code I can get the image URL. But it is not working after hours.
In my scenario, I want to get the image URL and I will send it to server API. So when I retrieve other API, I will get the image URL, what I sent. Once I got the URL, just I want to set it to imageview.
I have verified this link. I got the different link by using share method. But I don't know how to set that into my ImageView, whereas by using media method I can get the URL and I can set it to ImageView.
Please can someone help me to solve this problem
If i make an Http request for share url then I am getting image name with download option.
I am getting 16 headers.
From this am not getting any clue. There is no header name contains Location.There is one content-piracy-policy which gives some url values combined. But it is also not relevant.
What I have
I have an image File object trying to post to Tumblr using Jumblr API
My problem
When I try to post the image I get com.tumblr.jumblr.exceptions.JumblrException: Bad Request Response code :400
My code
client = new JumblrClient(CONSUMER_KEY,SECRET_KEY);
client.setToken(TOKEN, TOKEN_SECRET);
User user=client.user();
userName=user.getName();
PhotoPost photoPost=client.newPost(client.user().getBlogs().get(0).getName(),PhotoPost.class);
photoPost.setCaption("My Tumblr post");
photoPost.setPhoto(new Photo(Methods.FILE_IMAGE));
photoPost.save();
I've encountered the same issue using Jumblr.
Instead of this method (does it somehow trigger Android gallery? Couldn't find any javadoc for Methods.FILE_IMAGE)
photoPost.setPhoto(new Photo(Methods.FILE_IMAGE));
I suggest you to try any flavor of
photoPost.setData(new File(fileName)); //if it's possible on Android
And please try it with different files: Tumblr has not only file-size limitations, but also some weird check for file being valid. ~3% of gif files I upload throw Bad Request Response code :400. Those files are not exceeding GIF size limit and they're displayed fine on my machine, but Tumblr, for some reason rejects them, so please try post.setData and try it with some bulletproof-valid file, because from the rest of your code - it definitely looks like you're doing it right
I had a similar problem posting a video & audio. However, posting an Image worked like a charm..
JumblrClient client = new JumblrClient(
CONSUMER_KEY,
SECRET_KEY
);
client.setToken(
TOKEN,
TOKEN_SECRET
);
PhotoPost post = client.newPost(strBlogName, PhotoPost.class);
post.setCaption("This is my caption");
post.setData(new File(fileUri.getPath()));
post.save(); //Initiates upload of image file
I want to share multiple images along with the tweet on the Twitter, but i am not able to do so. I am able to tweet single photo along with the message but not getting to append other photos in the same tweet since twitter does not allow to tweet the same message for 8-10 hours or even a day. Here is my code, what i have done to tweet the message along the photo. Can anyone please let me know where i am lacking in the code or any better way to implement the requirement.
Here is the code for tweeting:
AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(access_token,
access_token_secret);
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(builder.build())
.getInstance(accessToken);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.getAbsolutePath().toString()
+ "/xyz.png");
StatusUpdate statusUpdate = new StatusUpdate(status);
statusUpdate.setMedia(f);
twitter.updateStatus(statusUpdate);
Thanks in advance
After doing lot of R & D, i came to know that we can not post more than one image in a single tweet, and also Twitter does not allow same message to be twitted in short span of time. You can post it after several hours(may be around 7-8 hours), since it gives "Duplicate message error". So i called the function which helped posting tweet with the media file by taking one counter variable and checking with the list of images i had. So at the end i was able to post three different tweets as there were three images in my list.
And ya, you can check in this link in which you will come to know the number of images you can post in a single tweet
I am developing an application for Android and which uses Dropbox for organizing the files. I am exploring the Dropbox API but its description and help is limited, as there is no documentation for the Dropbox API.
I still would like to manage the files to some functionality, for example placing a file and getting a file from Dropbox. Now the problem is when I put some files in Dropbox public folder and I need a URL to share to my contacts in the application. But in the API I could not find any function that returns the web URL of the file to share (Just like in the Deskotop interface of Dropbox, a user can get a Shared URL to send to friends).
Could someone help me figure out how to share that file with contacts in the Application?
Or any other way to share a file using Dropbox Android API?
According to changes made on DropBox metioned here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en
There would be no more Public folders, instead access to files can be done via Share Link.
If you use Android DropBox Core Api then shared link can be retrieved this way:
// Get the metadata for a directory
Entry dirent = mApi.metadata(mPath, 1000, null, true, null);
for (Entry ent : dirent.contents) {
String shareAddress = null;
if (!ent.isDir) {
DropboxLink shareLink = mApi.share(ent.path);
shareAddress = getShareURL(shareLink.url).replaceFirst("https://www", "https://dl");
Log.d(TAG, "dropbox share link " + shareAddress);
}
}
UPDATE: 2014/07/20 by Dheeraj Bhaskar
Use the following helper function alongwith the above function.
Since DropBox started to send shortened links it is little bit more problematic to get proper link.
For now, I am using this method :
We simply load the URL, follow the redirects and get the new URL.
String getShareURL(String strURL) {
URLConnection conn = null;
String redirectedUrl = null;
try {
URL inputURL = new URL(strURL);
conn = inputURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
System.out.println("Redirected URL: " + conn.getURL());
redirectedUrl = conn.getURL().toString();
is.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Please input a valid URL");
} catch (IOException ioe) {
Log.d(TAG, "Can not connect to the URL");
}
return redirectedUrl;
}
Note: All of this should be done of course in AsyncTask or Thread. This will produce proper links ready to download
Update 2014/07/25: Change in dropbox share URLs
A heads-up on the kind of URLs to expect
From the Dropbox team:
We wanted to give you a heads up about an upcoming change to the URL
structure of Dropbox shared links. While not part of the API, the
change could affect apps that manipulate the URLs returned from the
/shares endpoint or the "preview" link type returned by the Chooser
Drop-in.
Links returned will now have a ?dl=0 appended to them.
E.g., instead of
https://www.dropbox.com/s/99eqbiuiepa8y7n/Fluffbeast.docx, you'll
receive URLs
like this link
https://www.dropbox.com/s/99eqbiuiepa8y7n/Fluffbeast.docx?dl=0.
A useful thread in the Dropbox forums:
http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=37700&replies=7#post-326432
IF The public link for a file is always
dl.dropbox.com/u/<your users uid>/<path under /Public>/filename
then we can just use the API to get and build the public URL in the code.
Perhaps this may also help: Upload a file to Dropbox and copy public address. This script upload a file to your /Public directory and use your accound
UID to build it's public URL. Then, it echoes the URL to the console.
https://github.com/sylvainfilteau/dropbox-api-command/commit/6aa817c79220c5de4ff5339cd01ea8b528bcac36
I am not there yet in my Dropbox interface implementation, but this is one of the functions I need to develop. More in one or two days I hope.
I believe the url is as follows:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/YOUR_DROPBOX_ID/YOUR_FILE_NAME
This code WAS working fine, but suddenly stopped showing the map thumbnail from either Bing or Google static maps.. Any ideas? Did Facebook change their own parsing of the picture urls?
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", et_message.getText().toString());
parameters.putString("description", "Currently Near");
parameters.putString("picture","http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=36.837812,-76.022045&zoom=15&size=110x110&sensor=false&maptype=hybrid&markers=color:blue|36.837812,-76.022045");
parameters.putString("caption", lStreet + " - " + lCity +", "+ lState + " : "+ lPhone);
parameters.putString("name", lName);
if(lUrl != null){parameters.putString("link", lUrl);}
mAsyncRunner.request("me/feed", parameters,"POST", new myPostListener(), 1);
Now the Wall Post on my Facebook seems to be changing the link to combine parts of the LINK url, along with the image URL. I don't have a clear example of this that I can post, but a rough example is:
link = http://foo.bar/
picture = http://somemaps/image1.jpg
Result when hovering over the broken image on Facebook is something like:
http://apk.facebook/http://somemaps/image1.jpg
I don't get why Facebook isn't just using my raw picture Url in the first place!? Grrrrr
Anyone else having problem posting images to facebook wall, where image is a realtime generated image from Bing Maps, or Google Static Maps API?
I was having a similar issue and after a long debugging session it was due to me not providing a link and name attribute along with the picture attribute. I was just sending in message and picture but I think Facebook changed the way you can post pictures in a post recently because this did work about a month ago when I was testing.... Make sure they are all included in your post to Facebook. To post a picture you have to post to /me/photos, can't just send in a link unless you want it displayed as a "Facebook Link". Hope that helps.
