Any twitter api or complete solutions for monodroid? - xamarin.android

Looking for good solution for Twitter login and posting something... but there is no idea for now. How to do it in xamarine( IOS mono has complete solution, but monodroid...) help me please, if somebody knows how to do it.

If you just want to post something then you can easily do this by sending an Intent for use by an external app - e.g. see https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/blob/v3/Plugins/Cirrious/Share/Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.Share.Droid/MvxShareTask.cs#L19
If you need a more complete solution then libraries like Tweetsharp have had MonoDroid ports/branches at various times, but I don't know the current status of any of these.

You might also want to take a look at Xamarin.Social. This component will let you tweet from your Xamarin.Android application.

Post photo to pinterest by API

I need to post a photo to my own board in Pinterest via their API.
However, I cannot find any mention in their API documentation of how to accomplish this - https://developers.pinterest.com/
I have tried to search for an approach but found only dated information.
The following script does exactly what I'd like to do, however I want to implement it via Ruby/Rails - http://www.nextscripts.com/pinterest-automated-posting/
Any advice or documentation on how I could implement this functionality would be helpful.
Thank you in advance!
You may find this gem handy, though its a bit dated:

There is a project, that helps to create pin automatically via undocumented Pinterest API https://github.com/v-pukman/pinterest_spammer

Twitter for beginner

I want to make a small application (desktop/laptop for beginners) such that I can login to my twitter account and the application can tweet for me, lets say i can pass the tweet as an argument for the app.
So let us say that if I make the app in Java, basically it can be a function like:
LoginToTwitter(username, password) {
someLoginApi(); // is there any apis exposed by twitter
}
Tweet(String Tweet) {
someApiTweet();
}
I did some research on this. Found a framework fabric. But it seems it is a plugin to tweet from a website. But I want to make a simple app to do it from my laptop for example.
I also went through a lot of previous question asked on this. But I could not really find this.
If anyone can guide me to the question which talks about this or any resource that I can look upon to solve this problem, it will be great help!
Thanks a ton

How do I get to Google Code Playground?

I use to be able to get to Google Code Playground page.
As discussed in
A guide to Google Code PlayGround
Its a web-based tool that lets web developers try out all of the APIs that Google provides, tweak the code, and see the results, I found it very useful.
But now when I try, I get redirected to API Explorer!
Has anyone got any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know why they changed it, but probably you will need to go to the specific API/product you're looking for and search there.
For example, I used to teach the Visualization APIs with the playground, but these seem to have been reclassified as a chart "product" with the interactive code editing now hosted through JSFiddle:
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery
Good luck (re)locating what you're looking for.

I need a Twitter widget that isn't hideous

I need a Twitter widget that isn't chunky and disgusting like the official one (http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_profile) and more like this one on some guy's blog (http://kelwynshade.blogspot.com/).
I've checked his source, obviously - and it appears to be part of the Google Friend Connect service, which seems like it aims to solve a lot of problems I just don't have. And by that I mean it's bloated as hell.
Please advise.
Okay, ultimately I determined that I had enough CSS control over the stock widget to make do. If anyone has a better solution though I'd still like to hear it.
I dont know if this helps but u can check the post to twitter app from here:

Hope it helpes:)

Inviting Users to Events via Facebook API

I'm able to create an event via the Facebook Graph API but I have yet to see a way in which to invite users to that event.
My fallback is to simply use the old REST API but sooner or later that will be phased out so I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.
--
Additional side question:
While using the REST API (or possibly even the Graph API) I have not found a way to invite guests who are not on Facebook. Is there a way to do this?
--
Thanks in advance for your help.
The bad news is that I think you're stuck with the REST API, at least I couldn't find another way (see http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10070 if you haven't already). The good news is that there's still so much functionality missing from the graph API that I'm pretty sure Facebook isn't going to be phasing it out any time soon. Very frustrating though...
can I use the JavaScript SDK to call the old REST API method ?
