How to post tweet pragmatically without touching the tweet button

[sohailx2x]

ok. do you plan in future to provide tweet with photo through API? When ?

[fair_18]

Hi, Could you please say if it was provided tweet with photo through API? Or it is still no way to way.

One thing to note is that the Developer Policy (section 3) specifies that users should be made aware of any actions that an app is making on their behalf, so using the Tweet Composer is a good way of doing that in an explicit way, to ensure that a user is aware of what the app is doing.

was provided twe

Still they did’t provide the photo uploading with tweet. We have to wait…

[andypiper]

You can use the media/upload endpoint to upload images for use in Tweets, via the REST API.

But does this builder provide a callback that the Tweet has been updated?

[andypiper]

No, this is not the same as the TweetDelegate provided in Twitter Kit today - that’s a benefit of using the Tweet Composer.

Hi,

The easiest way to share image on twitter is by using the tweet-composer.

   TweetComposer.Builder builder = new TweetComposer.Builder(this)
        .text("just setting up my Fabric.")
        .image(myImageUri);
   builder.show();

The image Uri should be a file Uri (i.e. :code:file://<absolute_path> scheme) to a local file. For example,

File myImageFile = new File("/path/to/image");
Uri myImageUri = Uri.fromFile(myImageFile);

If you want to know when the tweet has been updated, instead of calling builder.show(), you can call builder.createIntent() and then call startActivityForResult.

        Intent intent = new TweetComposer.Builder(this)
                .text("Tweet from Fabric!")
                .url(new URL("http://www.twitter.com"))
                .createIntent();
        startActivityForResult(intent, TWEET_COMPOSER_RESULT);

Hello,

I’m an android programmer, I was just wondering if there are reference docs for the twitter kit SDK for android? I know that IOS references doc exists but can you tell me if android ones also exist?

[andypiper]

Javadocs live alongside the libraries in Maven - see here for the Twitter Kit 1.3.3 docs for example.

Isn’t that what you would tell your user when they login the first time in your app? If you have a log in?

Hi @lientm
I have tried the StatusesService for post tweet , as you refer , but i got below error ,

StatusesService statusesService = Twitter.getApiClient(session).getStatusesService();

can you please give direction to implement.

Or I need to implement the Login authentication first and then I post the tweet ,

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Must have valid session. Did you authenticate with Twitter?
            at com.twitter.sdk.android.core.TwitterCore.getApiClient(TwitterCore.java:258)
            at com.twitter.sdk.android.Twitter.getApiClient(Twitter.java:142)
            at com.example.test.fragment.OffersAllFragment$2$1.onClick(OffersAllFragment.java:290)
```

[andypiper]

You need the user to have logged in first - it is not possible to post a Tweet without an authenticated User context.

Hi, Do you have a sample project with how to share image using tweet-composer?

[bonnell]

A post was split to a new topic: How do I attach an image URL when tweeting through Fabric?

[gabyquilarque]

Hi @lientm

Can I get the tweet id from startActivityForResult and them do tweet with statusesService.update?

or with other method?

[bonnell]

Here’s the steps to compose a tweet through Twitter Kit: https://docs.fabric.io/android/twitter/compose-tweets.html#compose-a-tweet

Hi @bonnell
Thanks for your answer!

But, Can I compose a tweet through Twitter Kit with my account and not with twitter user account log in?

[bonnell]

Hey @gabyquilarque, Currently that’s not supported. Users need to tweet as themselves, not on behalf of another person’s account.
