Android- Fixing the Spring Android Twitter Example

getWebView().setWebViewClient(new TwitterOAuthWebViewClient());I have been using the excellent Spring Android for interaction with an api for an app I am developing at work. The spring-android-showcase project has been excellent in helping me breeze through development.

I easily implemented Facebook connections using the FacebookWebOAuthActivity

One issue I found when implementing the TwitterWebOAuthActivity was that it wasn”t finding the access token at the end of the OAuth process.

Using the facebook example I could see that it was using a webclient to detect the access token when a new page was loaded in the webview, so I implemented a similar process for twitter.

Simply add the following to TwitterWebOAuthActivity

private class TwitterOAuthWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
            String oauthVerifier = uri.getQueryParameter("oauth_verifier");

            if (oauthVerifier != null) {
                getWebView().clearView();
                new TwitterPostConnectTask().execute(oauthVerifier);
            }
        }
    }

and the following to the onStart method

getWebView().setWebViewClient(new TwitterOAuthWebViewClient());

I will endeavour to submit a pull request to the project to fix this issue
