Android TweetView Favorite Button Exception com.twitter.sdk.android.core.TwitterAuthException: Twitter login required

[Modernlifeislov]

Hi,
I receive the following exception when pressing the favorite button on the tweetview actionbar. I’ve followed all of the advice posted on the forum, but have had no luck. I am using Fabric.with to authorize my app at launch, I have added a callback url and have triple checked my app keys. Any insight as to what the issue might be?

Thanks,
Julian

Are you using Fabric’s default login context (guest authentication), or a user context (via a Login button)?

In order to favourite something, you’ll need to be authenticated as a user.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your help. I figured out what the issue was… it was my misunderstanding of the actionbar capabilities. I assumed if the user wasn’t logged in and pressed the favorite button they would be automatically forwarded to twitter to be authenticate, but that is not the case. I ended up adding an action callback to the favorite button to check if a user wasn’t logged in. If the user isn’t logged in I then make the authorize api call. The trick is to call onActivityResult on the Authenticate Client for the sdk to finish the authentication process.
