How to get user data via twitter API Fabric (Android)

Question

I successfully integrated twitter fabric api into my project Twitter login button

<com.twitter.sdk.android.core.identity.TwitterLoginButton android:id="@+id/twitter_login_button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true"/> 

Manifest resolution

  <meta-data android:name="io.fabric.ApiKey" android:value="myfabrickey" /> 

Initialization

  //field declerations private static final String TWITTER_KEY = "yourtwkey"; private static final String TWITTER_SECRET = "yoursecret"; //Inside oncreate TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(TWITTER_KEY, TWITTER_SECRET); Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics(), new Twitter(authConfig)); loginButtonTwitter = (TwitterLoginButton) findViewById(R.id.twitter_login_button); loginButtonTwitter.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() { @Override public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) { // Do something with result, which provides a TwitterSession for making API calls } @Override public void failure(TwitterException exception) { // Do something on failure } }); //Inside onActivityResult loginButtonTwitter.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); 

My only question is: how can I get user data in json format as soon as I authenticate my account.

Answer 1

Ok! It was pretty simple. (tried to do this at midnight, so I think half of my brain was asleep: P) Link to this link https://twittercommunity.com/t/android-get-user-profile-image/30579/6 In the user object you get everything.

  TwitterSession session = Twitter.getSessionManager().getActiveSession(); Twitter.getApiClient(session).getAccountService() .verifyCredentials(true, false, new Callback<User>() { @Override public void success(Result<User> userResult) { User user = userResult.data; twitterImage = user.profileImageUrl; } @Override public void failure(TwitterException e) { } }); 

Answer 2

For those who get the error "verifyCredentials () in the AccountService cannot be applied .." Please change the code as shown below

  Call<User> userResult = Twitter.getApiClient(session).getAccountService().verifyCredentials(true,false); userResult.enqueue(new Callback<User>() { @Override public void failure(TwitterException e) { } @Override public void success(Result<User> userResult) { User user = userResult.data; String twitterImage = user.profileImageUrl; try { Log.d("imageurl", user.profileImageUrl); Log.d("name", user.name); Log.d("email",user.email); Log.d("des", user.description); Log.d("followers ", String.valueOf(user.followersCount)); Log.d("createdAt", user.createdAt); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } });

Here's how to get user information after logging in via Twitter using Fabric.

Here is the MainActivity.java class:

 import android.content.Intent; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.TextView; import com.twitter.sdk.android.Twitter; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.Callback; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.Result; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.TwitterAuthConfig; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.TwitterException; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.TwitterSession; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.identity.TwitterLoginButton; import com.twitter.sdk.android.core.models.User; import io.fabric.sdk.android.Fabric; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { // Note: Your consumer key and secret should be obfuscated in your source code before shipping. private static final String TWITTER_KEY = "your twitter api key"; private static final String TWITTER_SECRET = "your twitter secret key"; private TwitterLoginButton loginButton; TextView textView; TwitterSession session; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(TWITTER_KEY, TWITTER_SECRET); Fabric.with(this, new Twitter(authConfig)); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_username); loginButton = (TwitterLoginButton) findViewById(R.id.twitter_login_button); loginButton.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() { @Override public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) { session = result.data; String username = session.getUserName(); Long userid = session.getUserId(); textView.setText("Hi " + username); getUserData(); } @Override public void failure(TwitterException exception) { Log.d("TwitterKit", "Login with Twitter failure", exception); } }); } @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); loginButton.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); } void getUserData() { Twitter.getApiClient(session).getAccountService() .verifyCredentials(true, false, new Callback<User>() { @Override public void failure(TwitterException e) { } @Override public void success(Result<User> userResult) { User user = userResult.data; String twitterImage = user.profileImageUrl; try { Log.d("imageurl", user.profileImageUrl); Log.d("name", user.name); Log.d("email",user.email); Log.d("des", user.description); Log.d("followers ", String.valueOf(user.followersCount)); Log.d("createdAt", user.createdAt); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }); } } 

Here is the MainActivity.xml file:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context="com.sourcen.twitterlogin.MainActivity"> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_username" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:text="twitter username" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="20dp" /> <com.twitter.sdk.android.core.identity.TwitterLoginButton android:id="@+id/twitter_login_button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" /> </RelativeLayout>
