How to share link via twitter in android?

Question

In my app I need to share link for promo site via Facebook and twitter, in facebook we got something like "share dialog" or post bundle like

Request request = new Request(Session.getActiveSession(), "me/feed", bundle, HttpMethod.POST, 
       new Request.Callback(){
                @Override
                public void onCompleted(Response response) {
                    ...
                }
            });

but there are no twitter sdk for android(trully I use twitter4j) and no way to post bundle

so how to tweet link via twitter?

Answer 1

If you send text with link like "Here is our link: http://stackoverflow.com" - twitter will understand it and get info from your link and show it - as I understand you need to see your recognized link in twitter feed. To post link you can make intent like @Adrian Sicaru or create your own custom dialog using asynctask with twitter4j as you mention:

@Override
protected Bundle doInBackground(Bundle... params) {
    Bundle args = params[0];
    Bundle result = new Bundle();

    String paramMessage = args.getString(MESSAGE);
    String paramLink = args.getString(LINK);

    ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
    builder.setOAuthConsumerKey("your ConsumerKey");
    builder.setOAuthConsumerSecret("your ConsumerSecret");

    String accessToken = "your Token";
    String accessTokenSecret = "your Secret";

    TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(builder.build());
    mTwitter = factory.getInstance(new AccessToken(accessToken, accessTokenSecret));
    try {
        StatusUpdate status = new StatusUpdate(paramMessage);

        if (paramLink != null) {
            status = new StatusUpdate(paramMessage + " " + paramLink);
        }
        mTwitter.updateStatus(status);
    } catch (TwitterException e) {
        result.putString(RESULT_ERROR, e.getMessage());
    }
    return result;
}
