Post Java output on twitter?

[darth_bubbles]

So I've got a Java program and it outputs text. I want to post that text on twitter. How would I do this?

System.out.println("text here"); right now. but I could change it.

there sure are some java libraries that grant access to Twitter APIs

Thanks! I just don't know how to use these...

well ... than you might should start with something simpler ...

Or I can figure it out. That's what programming is about, right?

Make a new app here: https://apps.twitter.com/

Follow the details here: http://www.codingpedia.org/ama/how-to-post-to-twittter-from-java-with-twitter4j-in-10-minutes/#The_example

to get the access codes, you need to add phone number to your twitter account to add write permission to your app.

 

Add the twitter4j jar to your project.

This code snippet should work, but I haven't tested it with the authentication codes.

Once the Twitter object is set up, you should be able to post a message with twitter.updateStatus("message");

import twitter4j.Status;import twitter4j.Twitter;import twitter4j.TwitterException;import twitter4j.TwitterFactory;import twitter4j.conf.ConfigurationBuilder;public class Test {	public static void main(String[] args) {		new Test();	}		private Twitter twitter;	public Test() {                // set up code		ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();		cb.setDebugEnabled(true)						.setOAuthConsumerKey("****************")				.setOAuthConsumerSecret(						"**************************************************")				.setOAuthAccessToken(						"***************************************************")				.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(						"************************");		TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());		twitter = tf.getInstance();		                // post message		try {			twitter.updateStatus("Test Message");		} catch (TwitterException e) {			e.printStackTrace();		}	}}

uhh, what is callback URL?

also, what does it mean to add the twitter4j jar to my project? I am using sublime text editor right now.

Ah, you could do it with sublime, but it would be a lot easier to use an ide such as eclipse (https://www.eclipse.org/).

If you look up how to make a project in eclipse and how to add a jar dependency you should be able to figure it out pretty easily.

Could you explain a bit more? I'm not sure what you mean.

[Deprecated]

if you are not using an IDE (Highly recommended), the include the jar on the class path when compiling and running with the -cp <relative jar location> flag

When I go on the twitter developer site, it wants me to give them a callback URL.

 

 

Where should we return after successfully authenticating? OAuth 1.0a applications should explicitly specify their oauth_callback URL on the request token step, regardless of the value given here. To restrict your application from using callbacks, leave this field blank.

Ah, I don't think that should matter, I think you can just give them any random url, or create a free google sites website if you really want to.

Oh okay. But I tried google.com and linustechtips.com and they didn't work...

You can just leave it blank mate!  Or you should be able to
