Using RestAPI calls with MGTwitterEngine+Oauth



I am using MGTwitterEngine+Oauth for twitter integration in iPhone. I need to post status and status with media on twitter.When searching I came to know that it can be possible with REST API. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api





But I did not find any links which can help how to use this api after I get authenticated with twitter. So what I did I tried using Oauth but it requires manually entering the pin which is not accepted in my case. So what I did it. I fetch information from mgtwitter engine methods:-







- (void) OAuthTwitterController: (SA_OAuthTwitterController *) controller authenticatedWithUsername: (NSString *) username {





NSLog(@"Inside authenticatedWithUsername");

NSLog(@"%@",[[_engine tokenOFAuth] key]);

NSLog(@"%@",[[_engine tokenOFAuth] pin]);

NSLog(@"%@",[[_engine tokenOFAuth] secret]);

[_engine getUserInformationFor:username];



}

tokenOFAuth is the instance of OAToken.



- (void)userInfoReceived:(NSArray *)userInfo forRequest:(NSString *)connectionIdentifier {



NSLog(@"User Info Received: %@", userInfo);

NSDictionary *userDict=[userInfo objectAtIndex:0];



oAuth.user_id=[userDict objectForKey:@"id"];

oAuth.screen_name=[userDict objectForKey:@"screen_name"];

oAuth.oauth_token=[[_engine tokenOFAuth]key];

oAuth.oauth_token_secret=[[_engine tokenOFAuth]secret];

[oAuth synchronousAuthorizeTwitterTokenWithVerifier:[[_engine tokenOFAuth]pin]];

oAuth.oauth_token_authorized=YES;

[oAuth saveOAuthTwitterContextToUserDefaults:oAuth];



[self sendTwitterTweetMethod];





}



-(void)sendTwitterTweetMethod

{

[oAuth loadOAuthTwitterContextFromUserDefaults];

NSString *postUrl = @"https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json";

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [[ASIFormDataRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:postUrl]];

NSMutableDictionary *postInfo = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"I am testing my app" forKey:@"status"];

for (NSString *key in [postInfo allKeys]) {

[request setPostValue:[postInfo objectForKey:key] forKey:key];

}

[request addRequestHeader:@"Authorization" value:[oAuth oAuthHeaderForMethod:@"POST" andUrl:postUrl andParams:postInfo]];

NSLog(@"[oAuth oAuthHeaderForMethod:@"" andUrl:postUrl andParams:postInfo]=%@",[oAuth oAuthHeaderForMethod:@"POST" andUrl:postUrl andParams:postInfo]);

[request startSynchronous];

NSLog(@"Status posted. HTTP result code: %d", request.responseStatusCode);

[request release];





}



But it is giving response:-Status posted. HTTP result code: 401 which means unauthorized.







please suggest me to use this rest api with twitter+oauth and without manually entering pin also. I am stuck here.Please help. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
