Re: [twitter-dev] How to get twitter oauth callback url returned to activity (on Android)?

2010-12-14 Thread Taylor Singletary
Consider the oauth callback that you set in your application record as not much more than a placeholder. In OAuth 1.0A, it is required to send the oauth_callback you want to use explicitly on the request token step -- so regardless of what you set on dev.twitter.com, you still have to provide a URL

For best results, normalize your space separation characters to "%20" instead of "+". Your POST body should contain something like "tweet%20from%20the%20api" and your OAuth signature basestring would encode this portion as "tweet%2520from%2520the%2520api". Some libraries get a little confused with
