Is Fabric SDK necessary for Twitter sign-in for an Android application?

[markbratanov]

Wanting to integrate Twitter sign-in for my Android applicatioon (4.4+) and came to the conclusion that it was necessary to have the Fabric SDK / plugin for Android Studio. Is this the only way to to integrate an application sign-in using official Twitter libraries?

Currently my project has broken while integrating the Fabric plugin and while updating my build.gradle to include Fabric.io. This is why I was hoping Fabric wasn’t the only way to go about this.

Any help, comments and suggestions would be insightful. Thanks,

p.s. My current error is during gradle sync / build:

Cannot find symbol import com.twitter.sdk.android.Twitter using Fabric

Replace twitter-core in this line below

compile('com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter-core:1.3.2@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }

with twitter
so it would look like this

compile('com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:1.3.2@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }
