How do I create a link that will automatically make a user follow a certain Twitter user if they're logged in or send them to Twitter to login first if they're not? I had found how to do this about month or 2 ago but can't find it again. I think it was something basic like a link or a form post to something like twitter.com/[user]/follow.
I've looked at the API, but I'd need the user to authenticate themselves on my site, and I don't want to deal with that. I just want them to authenticate directly on Twitter and not worry about it. The way I had found was nice and simple and I just want to find that again.
Use Twitter's web intents.
While you can use the follow button, you can also send users directly to the Intent URL, like so:
https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=NASA
how to use twitter api in my android application to implement follow button only

iPhone
http://www.chrismaddern.com/twitter-follow-button-for-ios-iphone-code/
Here is the way, How todo
The FollowMeButton can be created in Interface Builder by adding a UIButton and changing it's class to FollowMeButton or in code using the custom initialiser:
[self.view addSubview:[[FollowMeButton alloc] initWithTwitterAccount:#"chrismaddern" atOrigin:CGPointMake(205, 248) isSmallButton:YES]];
Two size modes are available controlled by setting isSmallButton in the initialiser or by later change the isSmall property of the object.

I am developing an app with Twitter login. When I am checking Fabric, it doesn't contain Twitter login as it's no longer available via Fabric, so I am trying to implement it using Twitter Kit (Twitter Kit Link).
I have installed Twitter Kit on my app, when I am trying to run the app it crashes on
Twitter.sharedInstance().startWithConsumerKey(<key>, consumerSecret: <secret>)
Error: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
Any solutions...
try this code
add this gradle line in you project
compile 'com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:3.0.0'
Write in your Activity/Fragment
//Your Custom Button
private ivTwitter;
//Twitter Login Button
private TwitterLoginButton ivTwitterMain;
//init twitter
TwitterConfig config = new TwitterConfig.Builder(this)
.logger(new DefaultLogger(Log.DEBUG))
.twitterAuthConfig(new TwitterAuthConfig(Const.CONSUMER_KEY, Const.CONSUMER_SECRET))
.debug(false)
.build();
Twitter.initialize(config);
//find your button
ivTwitter = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivTwitter);
ivTwitterMain = (TwitterLoginButton)findViewById(R.id.ivTwitterMain);
//twitter login callback
ivTwitterMain.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
#Override
public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) {
// Do something with result, which provides a TwitterSession for making API calls
TwitterSession session = TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().getActiveSession();
TwitterAuthToken authToken = session.getAuthToken();
String token = authToken.token;
String secret = authToken.secret;
getTwitterUserProfile(session);
}
#Override
public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
// Do something on failure
Log.d(Const.FRAGMENT_REGISTER, exception.getMessage());
}
});
getTwitterUserProfile code
private void getTwitterUserProfile(TwitterSession session) {
AccountService accountService = new TwitterApiClient(session).getAccountService();
Call<User> callback = accountService.verifyCredentials(true, true, true);
callback.clone().enqueue(new Callback<User>() {
#Override
public void success(Result<User> result) {
Log.d("NAME ", result.data.name);
Log.d("EMAIL", result.data.email);
Log.d("PICTURE ", result.data.profileImageUrl);
}
#Override
public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
}
});
}
at last generate Click event of custom button
ivTwitter.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//twitter login button
ivTwitterMain.performClick();
}
});
I'm assuming that you have already read the twitter official documentation about "Installation" of the TwitterKit in iOS app. I had such experience and the only thing that worked and wasn't in the documentation was this:
In your Info.plist file make sure that "twitterkit-yourAppKey" in
your CFBundleURLSchemes is Item 0.
I've answered this here. Hope it helps you :)
I have went through the Xamarin IAB 'tutorial' on it's Component page. I installed the component and Google Play Billing Lib into my app, published my apk to Google Play Dev Console in Alpha and added products on the Dev Console to the app. However, when I try to test the app on a phone, anytime I click on any of the purchase buttons nothing happens. The buttons themselves worked fine I have tested them by pushing other notifications, changing colors, etc. They work with everything else, but when it comes to purchasing nothing happens, no pop-ups, no buffering or attempt to connection, literally nothing. I think my app never connects to Google Play, and I have no idea why.
My Main Activity
private InAppBillingServiceConnection _serviceConnection;
private string publicKey = "my public key";
private IList<Product> _products;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Establish Connection to Google Play Store
_serviceConnection = new InAppBillingServiceConnection(this, publicKey);
_serviceConnection.OnConnected += async () =>
{
// Load available products and any purchases
await RequestProducts();
};
// Attempt to connect to the service
_serviceConnection.Connect();
IAPHelper.Instance.Initalize(_products, _serviceConnection);
var g = new Game1();
SetContentView(g.Services.GetService<View>());
g.Run();
}
// Request a list of available products that the user can purchase by providing alist of
protected async Task RequestProducts()
{
_products = await _serviceConnection.BillingHandler.QueryInventoryAsync(new List<string>{
ReservedTestProductIDs.Purchased,
ReservedTestProductIDs.Canceled,
ReservedTestProductIDs.Refunded,
ReservedTestProductIDs.Unavailable
}, ItemType.Product);
// Were any products returned?
if (_products == null)
{
// No, abort
return;
}
}
protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Intent data)
{
base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
My Helper Method
private IList<Product> _products;
private InAppBillingServiceConnection _serviceConnection;
public void Initalize(IList<Product> _products, InAppBillingServiceConnection _serviceConnection)
{
this._products = _products;
this._serviceConnection = _serviceConnection;
}
// Called when a product is clicked to buy
public bool ProductPurchasing(string id)
{
Product _selectedProduct = null;
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < _products.Count; i++)
{
if (id == _products[i].ProductId)
{
_selectedProduct = _products[i];
break;
}
}
_serviceConnection.BillingHandler.BuyProduct(_selectedProduct);
return true;
}

Hey I would like to have the latest tweets from certain users that I will follow to be displayed on a page of my web app. So I followed the tutorial on the git of horsebird client but I don't know where I have to specify the users I want the messages from.
public class TwitterLatestTweets implements Runnable {
private final static String BUNDLE_BASENAME = "configuration.twitter";
private final static String CONSUMER_KEY = ResourceBundle.getBundle(
BUNDLE_BASENAME).getString("consumerKey");
private final static String CONSUMER_SECRET = ResourceBundle.getBundle(
BUNDLE_BASENAME).getString("consumerSecret");
private final static String TOKEN = ResourceBundle.getBundle(
BUNDLE_BASENAME).getString("token");
private final static String SECRET = ResourceBundle.getBundle(
BUNDLE_BASENAME).getString("secret");
private List<String> msgList = new ArrayList<String>();
#Override
public void run() {
/**
* Set up your blocking queues: Be sure to size these properly based on
* expected TPS of your stream
*/
BlockingQueue<String> msgQueue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<String>(100000);
BlockingQueue<Event> eventQueue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Event>(1000);
/**
* Declare the host you want to connect to, the endpoint, and
* authentication (basic auth or oauth)
*/
Hosts hosebirdHosts = new HttpHosts(Constants.STREAM_HOST);
StatusesFilterEndpoint hosebirdEndpoint = new StatusesFilterEndpoint();
Authentication hosebirdAuth = new OAuth1(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
TOKEN, SECRET);
ClientBuilder builder = new ClientBuilder().hosts(hosebirdHosts)
.authentication(hosebirdAuth).endpoint(hosebirdEndpoint)
.processor(new StringDelimitedProcessor(msgQueue))
.eventMessageQueue(eventQueue);
Client hosebirdClient = builder.build();
hosebirdClient.connect();
while (!hosebirdClient.isDone()) {
try {
String msg = msgQueue.take();
msgList.add(msg);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
hosebirdClient.stop();
for (String s : msgList) {
System.out.println(s);
}
}
}
}
Is it Constants.STREAM_HOST ? Could you give me an example with the white house twitter (https://twitter.com/whitehouse) ?
You need to add a list of userIds to your endpoint, like this:
hosebirdEndpoint.followings(userIds);
You've got several examples here, in the same github project you've provided in your question. This one uses the same endpoint as in your post.
In here you can find Twitter's documentation on the endpoint, and the full list of the parameters you can use.
I am developing one application where i will launch a url in the browser from which i will launch my application.
Suppose if i will click google.com, and press enter, it will launch my application. For that i tried with the HttpFilterRegistry API.
For reference i am using the HTTPFilterDemo application. But currently while launching the app, i am getting the NullPointerException.
I wrote the below code i the openFilter Method:
public Connection openFilter(String name, int mode, boolean timeouts) throws IOException {
Logger.out("Protocol", "it is inside the openFilter method");
_url = name.substring(2);
_requestHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
_responseHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
_responseHeaders.setProperty(HttpProtocolConstants.HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE, "text/html");
Logger.out("Protocol", "here it is come ::::44444444");
final int modHandle = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("AppLaunchBrowser");
Logger.out("Protocol", "here is the module handle:::" + modHandle);
final ApplicationDescriptor[] apDes = CodeModuleManager.getApplicationDescriptors(modHandle);
final ApplicationDescriptor appDescriptor = new ApplicationDescriptor(apDes[0], new String[] {});
Logger.out("Protocol", "here is the app descriptor:::" + appDescriptor);
try {
final int appCode = ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().runApplication(appDescriptor, true);
Logger.out("Protocol", "here is the app code:::" + appCode);
} catch (ApplicationManagerException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
// }
return this;
}
And in the application class i am creating alternative entry point and using like below:
public class AppLaunch extends UiApplication{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Logger.out("AppLaunch", args+"length of the arguments::::" +args.length);
if((args != null) && (args.length > 0) && (args[0].equals("background")))
{
Logger.out("AppLaunch", "in the alternate entry point");
// Logger.out("AppLaunch", args+"length of the arguments::::" +args.length);
HttpFilterRegistry.registerFilter("www.google.co.in", "com.innominds.ca", false);
}
else
{
Logger.out("AppLaunch", "Inside the Applaunch");
AppLaunch theApp = new AppLaunch();
theApp.requestForeground();
Logger.out("AppLaunch", "created the app launch object");
theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
// Logger.out("AppLaunch", "in the alternate entry point");
// HttpFilterRegistry.registerFilter("www.google.co.in", "com.innominds.ca", false);
}
}
public AppLaunch()
{
checkPermissions();
showTestScreen();
}
private void checkPermissions()
{
ApplicationPermissionsManager apm = ApplicationPermissionsManager.getInstance();
ApplicationPermissions original = apm.getApplicationPermissions();
if(original.getPermission(ApplicationPermissions.PERMISSION_BROWSER_FILTER) == ApplicationPermissions.VALUE_ALLOW)
{
// All of the necessary permissions are currently available
return;
}
ApplicationPermissions permRequest = new ApplicationPermissions();
permRequest.addPermission(ApplicationPermissions.PERMISSION_BROWSER_FILTER);
boolean acceptance = ApplicationPermissionsManager.getInstance().invokePermissionsRequest(permRequest);
if(acceptance)
{
// User has accepted all of the permissions
return;
}
else
{
}
}
private void showTestScreen()
{
UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new AppLaunchScreen());
}
}
Finally i was able to resolve this issue. Actually NPE is coming in some other callback methods because i was implementing the FilterBaseInterface.
I created app which user can start from menu and from icon. I do not use GlobalEventListener in my app, just register ApplicationMenuitem. And now I am getting error: previous instance still active when launch my app.
Steps to reproduce not so trivial:
launch app from icon
do not close it, just switch to another app
launch app from icon again
I founded article in blackberry's forum about it , but I can't find solution where I should remove my ApplicationMenuItem: it added on phone boot and should show all the time.
My code:
public class Jingu extends UiApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationManager app = ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager();
boolean keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing) {
if (app.inStartup()) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (Exception e) {}
} else {
keepGoing = false;
}
}
Jingu theApp = new Jingu();
theApp.initMenuItem();
theApp.showMainScreen();
theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
}
public Jingu() {
}
public void showMainScreen() {
showScreen(new JinguMainScreen(this));
}
public void initMenuItem() {
// Create menu item
Object o = RuntimeStore.getRuntimeStore().get(JinguMenuItem.MY_MENU_ID);
// register only if not done already.
if (o == null) {
new JinguMenuItem(this).registerInstance();
}
}
public void showScreen(Screen aScreen) {
synchronized (Application.getEventLock()) {
try {
UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(aScreen);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(aScreen);
}
}
}
public class JinguMenuItem extends ApplicationMenuItem {
public static final long MY_MENU_ID = 0xb9739d5240d5943dL;
private final Jingu jingu;
public JinguMenuItem(Jingu jingu) {
super(0x350100);
this.jingu = jingu;
}
public void registerInstance() {
Object menuItem = RuntimeStore.getRuntimeStore().remove(MY_MENU_ID);
if (menuItem == null) {
ApplicationMenuItemRepository amir = ApplicationMenuItemRepository.getInstance();
amir.addMenuItem(ApplicationMenuItemRepository.MENUITEM_SYSTEM, this);
RuntimeStore.getRuntimeStore().put(MY_MENU_ID, this);
}
}
public Object run(Object context) {
jingu.setDefaultFont(Font.getDefault());
jingu.setMainApp(false);
jingu.setBbmEditField(null);
jingu.showMainScreen();
return context;
}
public String toString() {
return "My Menu";
}
}
plz advice where I should delete ApplicationMenuItem in my app?
my regards,
Vadim
If you are registering an ApplicationMenuItem from your application, as a user I would consider it bad style for your application to remove and exit, even if RIM provided a way to do this. You may want to separate your application into two parts. One provides the minimal support for responding to the ApplicationMenuItem selection, that starts automatically and runs in the background. The other has all the rest and can run and exit as needed.
My solution for this situation is:
create alternative entry point and run it on app load
register menu in it
do not use runtimeStore
