Using custom login button with Twitter Fabric?

Vannen picture Vannen · Dec 3, 2014 · Viewed 20.9k times · Source

I have been trying to use a normal button to execute the authentication process with the twitter sdk but it does not seem to work. Anyone have tried anything similar?

  • I have correctly setup the API keys, etc..
  • The login process execute correctly but the callback part seems not to be called.
  • None of my logs are executed (Neither the success or failure part)

The code

buttonTwitterLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {

        Twitter.logIn(LoginActivity1.this, new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
            @Override
            public void success(Result<TwitterSession> twitterSessionResult) {
                Log.i(TAG, "success");
                Log.i(TAG, twitterSessionResult.toString());
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(TwitterException e) {
                Log.e(TAG, "failed");
            }
        });
    }
});

You can achieve this by using TwitterAuthClient. i.e,

First of all create normal button like,

<Button
      android:id:"@+id/twitter_custom_button"
      ...  />

Now, in you java class file use TwitterAuthClient instead of TwitterLoginButton. then set your CallBack inside Button's onClick

TwitterAuthClient mTwitterAuthClient= new TwitterAuthClient();

Button twitter_custom_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.twitter_custom_button);
twitter_custom_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {


             mTwitterAuthClient.authorize(this, new com.twitter.sdk.android.core.Callback<TwitterSession>() {

                       @Override
                       public void success(Result<TwitterSession> twitterSessionResult) {
                           // Success
                       }

                       @Override
                       public void failure(TwitterException e) {
                           e.printStackTrace();
                       }
            });


        }
});



@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent) {
    mTwitterAuthClient.onActivityResult(requestCode, responseCode, intent);
}
