Verify oauth token generated on mobile device from server code

Hi
We have an android app where user can sign in using twitter.
Now the user posts something to the server and I need to verify that the twitter username really is authenticated through twitter and token is not expired.
I can not find anything in the api that support this scenario?
The verify credentials(https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/account/verify_credentials) requires the user to be authenticated on the server.
I believe it would be possible through reverse oauth(https://dev.twitter.com/docs/ios/using-reverse-auth) but it requires IOS.

I would need something like this https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2UserAgent#validatetoken
Thanks
Jonas

Same here. Interested in trying to support reverse auth on Android

Me too. Thats exactly what I’m looking for…

@methecontender, did you come up with a solution ?

Same here.
Shall we check if the error code == 99 then re-authenticate?
