How can i post on twitter without showing dialogue in ios? - ios

Question

I want to post my status on twitter. I want to add an image, but I dont want a share dialogue.
Instead I'd like an interface like Instagram, where the user just selects twitter and presses 'share', so it's easy.
Here is my running code so far:
// Create an instance of the Tweet Sheet
SLComposeViewController *tweetSheet = [SLComposeViewController
composeViewControllerForServiceType:
SLServiceTypeTwitter];
// Sets the completion handler. Note that we don't know which thread the
// block will be called on, so we need to ensure that any required UI
// updates occur on the main queue
tweetSheet.completionHandler = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch(result) {
// This means the user cancelled without sending the Tweet
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
break;
// This means the user hit 'Send'
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
break;
}
};
// Set the initial body of the Tweet
[tweetSheet setInitialText:#"Socia"];
// Adds an image to the Tweet. For demo purposes, assume we have an
// image named 'larry.png' that we wish to attach
if (![tweetSheet addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"icon120x120.png"]]) {
NSLog(#"Unable to add the image!");
}
// Add an URL to the Tweet. You can add multiple URLs.
if (![tweetSheet addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title="]]){
NSLog(#"Unable to add the URL!");
}
// Presents the Tweet Sheet to the user
[self presentViewController:tweetSheet animated:NO completion:^{
NSLog(#"Tweet sheet has been presented.");
}];

[account requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
if (granted == YES)
{
// Populate array with all available Twitter accounts
NSArray *arrayOfAccounts = [account accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
if ([arrayOfAccounts count] > 0)
{
//use the first account available
ACAccount *acct = [arrayOfAccounts objectAtIndex:0];
//create this request
SLRequest *postRequest = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter requestMethod:SLRequestMethodPOST URL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.twitter.com"#"/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json"] parameters: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:message forKey:#"status"]];
UIImage *imageToPost = [UIImage imageNamed:#"image.jpg"];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageToPost, 1.0f);//set the compression quality
[postRequest addMultipartData:imageData withName:#"media" type:#"image/jpeg" filename:#"image.jpg"];
//set account and same as above code
....

The above is from this link and this code worked for me.
