Question

I have an example where i am getting an 401 error because the consumer is not correct or signature didn’t match .How to put signature key here because in my working java example there is a signature key and i want to implement it.

public class TwitterApp {
private Twitter mTwitter;
private TwitterSession mSession;
private AccessToken mAccessToken;
private OAuthConsumer mHttpOauthConsumer;
private OAuthProvider mHttpOauthprovider;

    mHttpOauthConsumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(mConsumerKey, mSecretKey);

}

i have an working example of java also where, i am getting the token easily but the thing is it uses DefaultOAuthConsumer and DefaultOAuthProvider but whenever i am trying to implement it in my example i am getting communication error, thats why i use CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer and CommonsHttpOAuthProvider.

here’s the java working code

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    OAuthConsumer consumer = new DefaultOAuthConsumer(
            "iIlNngv1KdV6XzNYkoLA",
            "exQ94pBpLXFcyttvLoxU2nrktThrlsj580zjYzmoM",
            SignatureMethod.HMAC_SHA1);

    OAuthProvider provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider(consumer,
            "http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
            "http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
            "http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize");

    System.out.println("Fetching request token from Twitter...");

    // we do not support callbacks, thus pass OOB
    String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(OAuth.OUT_OF_BAND);

    System.out.println("Request token: " + consumer.getToken());
    System.out.println("Token secret: " + consumer.getTokenSecret());

    System.out.println("Now visit:\n" + authUrl
            + "\n... and grant this app authorization");
    System.out.println("Enter the PIN code and hit ENTER when you're done:");

    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String pin = br.readLine();

    System.out.println("Fetching access token from Twitter...");

    provider.retrieveAccessToken(pin);

    System.out.println("Access token: " + consumer.getToken());
    System.out.println("Token secret: " + consumer.getTokenSecret());

    URL url = new URL("http://twitter.com/statuses/mentions.xml");
    HttpURLConnection request = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

    consumer.sign(request);

    System.out.println("Sending request to Twitter...");
    request.connect();

    System.out.println("Response: " + request.getResponseCode() + " "
            + request.getResponseMessage());
}

}

and i am also not aware for call back url string i am using it here..

Answer 1

The CALLBACK_URL should match the

<intent-filter> 

in your manifest.xml.

In your code snippets, have you declared and initialized the mHttpOathCosumer and provider?
