Question

I created a Twitter app I need user of my Android application to authorize its use. I’m at the point where I can call Twitter app page in the browser and successfully authorize. However, the callback seem not to be working, I end up with the confirmation message and PIN in the browser but my Android activity is never called (onResume is not triggered).
Here’s what I have

1. Twitter URL: http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=actualtokenhere&oauth_callback=myapp:///

2. In my activity definition I have this intent-filter

           <intent-filter>
           <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
           <data android:scheme="myapp" />
       </intent-filter>
   

3. As I stated – I get confirmation but not redirect so the Android app is never called back

Answer 1

Well, turned out there was nothing wrong with my configuration. My twitter app simply had wrong setting for the “Application Type”
If you have this problem – go to your app edit view on Twitter and check “browser” option for the “Application Type”, then if authentication succeeds browser redirects to the callback URL. Now – I couldn’t use Android-style callback URL (myapp://twitt) since that would not pass form validation. But turned out – you can enter anything that is valid URL there and provide the actuall callback URL in your code
