I follow
this link
site to integrate Twitter on Android.
But the problem is my consumer key and secret have some problem because when I run my application it gives the Sorry! your application has stopped unexpectedly error
and when I checked in logcat it’s giving null pointer exception
my logcat result is
07-07 11:06:50.962: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(323): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity {com.ecs.android.sample.twitter/com.ecs.android.sample.twitter.AndroidTwitterSample}: java.lang.NullPointerException

Please tell me what is the mistake I am making?
And the whole code with 5 classes is:
Constants class-
package com.ecs.android.sample.twitter;
package com.ecs.android.sample.twitter;
public class Constants {
public static final String CONSUMER_KEY = "consumer key";
public static final String CONSUMER_SECRET= "consumer secret key";
public static final String REQUEST_URL = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token";
public static final String ACCESS_URL = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token";
public static final String AUTHORIZE_URL = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize";
public static final String CALLBACK_SCHEME = "x-oauthflow-twitter";
public static final String CALLBACK_HOST = "callback";
public static final String CALLBACK_URL = CALLBACK_SCHEME + "://" + CALLBACK_HOST;
}

sendTweet();
} else {

You have to put
CONSUMER_KEY = "enter consumer key here"andCONSUMER_SECRET="enter consumer secret here"in your Constants class. For that you have to register your application in Twitter. To register your app, visit https://dev.twitter.com/user . After that it will give you those keys.
