Simple and useful. No twitter4j is needed for simple tweets. – Yar Sep 11 '12 at 06:57
@gian1200 Can you share the intent extras that i need to send .. i am passing intent.putExtra("text", ArticleListAdapter.shareContent); intent.putExtra("url", ArticleListAdapter.link); these values but the page not shows this message ?????? – Sampath Kumar Jan 30 '14 at 06:39
You dont need extras. Just a long url with parameters – gian1200 Jan 30 '14 at 06:48

To share some text using standard android intents, only three lines of code are necessary. The user will be prompted to pick a method (and they can then choose Twitter.)

    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Here's some text for Twitter.");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share this via"));

If you want to do more advanced stuff with Twitter:

I found that a lot of the solutions posted on the Internet were needlessly complicated. For me, it was only a couple additional lines of code beyond what Twitter4J tells you to do.

For my dollar, Stephan's answer here is the best.

I have some example code on github using his technique, here.

Code :

protected String doInBackground(String... args) {

          ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
          builder.setOAuthConsumerKey(CONSUMER_KEY);
          builder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(CONSUMER_SECRET);
          AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
          Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(builder.build()).getInstance(accessToken);
          try {
      twitter4j.Status response = twitter.updateStatus(tweetText);
      return response.toString();
    } catch (TwitterException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
       return null;
       }
