Android Question Twitter library questions

[techknight]

Ive searched, and researched this forum and I cant quite seem to find an answer to my questions.

From what I have seen, you need a consumer key, a consumer secret, etc... But they say you cant share the consumer secret?

Basically I want to create an app that someone can tweet with. So if I shared the app, how would they login to THIER OWN twitter account and tweet with the app?

From what I see, you have to generate the keys in the API developer section on twitter to make it work, But again, that means they would have to? which also means they would have to recompile?

Im all confused!!!

Don't know if I have well understood the process but from what I understood the dev key is to allow the app connect with their API. The end user provides his credentials to the API and not the app. The app reveives an ID which lets do some tasks like posting or refreshing.

well I found a library, the SocialAPI or whatever its called, but its not working for twitter. At least I cant get it to work.

I have written a simple class to use Twitter4J library here

It has authorization , text tweet , media tweet .
You can add more features using JavaObject .
