[twitter-dev] Re: oauth revoke access triggers call to app

2009-07-25 Thread BlueSkies
I designed my application so that if a user revokes access, it can sort itself out. If a user tries to post to Twitter after having already revoked access, Twitter will return a 401 status which BigTweet uses to logout the user and redirect to a new login page. Scott On Jul 19, 4:55 pm, Abra

HttpClient on Android is the same as HttpClient in general. You create a client, create an httpPost and send it to twittter. It's something like DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost post = new HttpPost(postString); localContext = new BasicHttpContext(); client.getCredenti

Hi Moose, The documentation may be a bit out-dated. Right now the limit for all searches is pretty much 7 days b/c of performance/storage reasons. They are working on extending that window, but there is not a specific date for having that accomplished. -Chad On Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 12:18 PM, Fl
