How can I do that?
The Twitter SampleCode is not working!
Is there a way to do that using oAuth?

Peach,
When using your tutorial, the little Twitter box that comes up specifically says that the application cannot post tweets to your profile, and so it doesn’t work at all. [import]uid: 40538 topic_id: 15207 reply_id: 58655[/import]
Did you set the correct permissions in Twitter? This sounds as though you didn’t give the app the proper access permissions.
So yeah, set the wrong permissions, and no - it wont work at all.
Take a look at the app on Twitter, should be an easy fix

You know what, I even looked at that bit but ignored it! lol

No worries, it’s easy enough to do - I think I did it myself the first time, actually

On Android the webpopup window shows and then closes quickly with this message in the logs:
{“error”:”Could not authenticate you.”, “request”:”\/1\/statuses\/update.json”}I follow the tutorial, and even try the example in Corona. None of then works. (adroid or iPhone)
This tutorial looks promising, but I can not run for a mistake that happens all the time and I’m not able to observe the code where the problem is:
\twittertest\main.lua:61: attempt to concatenate upvalue ‘twitter_request_token’ (a nil value)
this token should be returned form oAuth library, or am I wrong?

try my sendSocial function.
it’s part of a game helper module I’m writing in the moment.
and I will probably release it soon…
It uses a trick I read somewhere in this forum:
you can send messages to twitter and facebook via the adress bar!
so you only need a webPopup and the right strings here and there.
http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=wheee see what happens if you open that link. it’s almost the same with facebook, although it needs some more info (url, icon etc.) - customize the lines 18 et seq.
urlEncode (line 13) is taken from rum.lua (http://www.monkeydeadstudios.com/rum.php)
you can alternatively use the simple line behind “or:” that is not extensively tested.
-----------------------------
-- Send String to Social Network --
----------------------------
-- example: fin.sendSocial ( string, "twitter" )
-- return: nothing
-----------------
fin.sendSocial = function (theMessage, theNetwork)
local theNetwork = theNetwork or "twitter" -- twitter is default
local webGroup = display.newGroup()
local message = theMessage or "NO TITLE..."
webGroup:toFront()
local theString = fin.urlEncode ( message ) -- or: string.gsub(message, "( )", "%%20")
if theNetwork == "twitter" then
native.showWebPopup(20, 20, display.contentWidth - 40, display.contentHeight - 90, "http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text="..theString)
elseif theNetwork == "facebook" then
-- customize!
local redirectUri = "http://www.canupa.com/"
local fbLink = "http://www.canupa.com/products/"
local fbPic = "http://canupa.com/images/stories/canupa\_logo\_tm.jpg"
local fbName = "App Name"
native.showWebPopup(20, 20, display.contentWidth - 40, display.contentHeight - 90, "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?display=touch&redirect\_uri="..redirectUri.."&link="..fbLink.."&picture="..fbPic.."&name="..fbName.."&description="..theString)
end
-- customize your back button...
local backBtn = display.newRect( webGroup, -30, -30, display.contentWidth+30, display.contentHeight+30 )
backBtn:setFillColor(0,0,0)
backBtn.alpha = 0.4
local btn\_touch = {}
local btn\_touch\_began = {}
function closeWebPopup()
webGroup.isVisible = false
native.cancelWebPopup()
end
function btn\_touch ( event )
if "began" == event.phase then
closeWebPopup()
end
end
backBtn:addEventListener ( "touch", btn\_touch )
end hope that helps
