I was looking for an answer to this question because.

I read a lot about signpost, and then went back to Twitter4J with which I have created my twitter applications when OAuth wasn't necessary. I am now confused whether I should use signpost or Twitter4J's method of OAuth authentication. I have read that Twitter4J itself uses signpost for OAuth, still am not sure about the choice that I should make.

Kindly assist. Thanks a lot! Android oauth twitter4j signpost link|improve this question edited Nov 17 '10 at 6:39 asked Nov 1 '10 at 11:19Sheikh Aman3,9221727 74% accept rate.

I was looking for an answer to this question because: If I use SignPost, I can get the "Sign-in with Twitter" working If I had used Twitter4J, then I had to ask the user for his uid/pass Although I wanted to use Twitter4J only. Anyhow, I devised a way between these two and used Twitter4J to achieve "Sign-in with Twitter". The code can be seen here: pastie.org/1283631 and the manifest can be seen here: http://pastie.org/1283632 (As it was for an Android App).

And here's the full blog post and a sample project demonstrating the things: goo.

Yes it wasn't really working since I had changed the domain name of my website.

Please check it now, I have rectified it – Sheikh Aman Apr 13 '11 at 3:41 @Sheikh Aman thanks its working now, but it seems you have to now email api@twitter.com in order to get the custom protocol in your callback url. Is that right? – schwiz Apr 13 '11 at 5:04 really?

I need to check that, since it wasn't like this at the time when I wrote this tutorial. I'll just check – Sheikh Aman Apr 13 '11 at 5:16.

Twitter4J has no dependency and it's got its own OAuth support implementation. You can achieve sign-in-with-twitter with Twitter4J. Here you can find an example webapp.

1 Wow.. the creator posted! Thanks! Well I referred to that example only and created an Android version of Sign-in with twitter.

And it works pretty well. It opens the Android browser for the user to sign in, and when the user finishes signing in, it returns to the app with the details twitter returned, and further uses Twitter4J for twitter Transactions. Would you like to see the code?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
