Failed to get request token on Android M running Devices

Question

Twitter login failed in Android 6.0 preview devices. Its working fine on all other devices.

Below code is used to initialize fabric with twitter.

TWITTER_ KEY and TWITTER_SECRET keys were obtained from twitter app settings.

    TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(TWITTER_KEY, TWITTER_SECRET);
    Fabric.with(this, new Twitter(authConfig));

Here is the error log i got during login using TwitterApiClient.

Answer 1

Here are the things you need to do

Twitter dev account->setting->callBack url

and then if you are doing for the android (means login using for android devices )

twittersdk://
(add this in callback)

if you are doing for the iOS (means login using for apple devices )

twitterkit-CONSUMERKEY://
(add this in callback)

and hit update settings button it will work :)

Answer 2

Before this solution, I tried a valid url (even google.com). But, in my case, it did not work.

I then found this solution, which worked well for me:

Step 1: Go to your twitter app's settings by logging in at https://apps.twitter.com/ and selecting the Settings tab, then add twittersdk:// as a callback url. (I found it in lib class.)

Step 2: Save your update.

Step 3: Try your app again.
