Hi Clay,
Just noticed that you have an API secret in this code sample you've
provided -- you'll want to go to your application record and
regenerate a new key/secret pair.
As for the code itself -- I see you setting your consumer key and
secret as constants near the top, but then in askOAuth you're using
different values -- is this just a result of a bad paste?

[twitter-dev] Re: Problems with Twitter4J and OAuth on Android
Taylor,
So the permission failure is on the request token. Not on the
callback, so even though my callback code is a little different it
shouldnt matter because it never gets to it.
Thanks again for catching that I posted my keys.

So does it works completely now with manifest.xml permission in place?
uses-permission

uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION/
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.INTERNET/
What OAuth lib did you use with Twitter4J?
