Get a User's email address from Twitter (Android)

Question

How can i get email address of a user via twitter API? I\'m using Twitter4j for Sign in with twitter

Answer 1

first of all make sure you activated Request email addresses from users in your twitter app Permissions section

---

then follow Twitter Documentation steps:

1. Installation process: which simply imports the sdk package of twitter

and i'm using only the core package

compile 'com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter-core:3.1.1'

Initialize Twitter Kit on your Activity onCreate method

Twitter.initialize(this);

Add your App id and secret to strings.xml file

<string android:name="com.twitter.sdk.android.CONSUMER_KEY">XXXXXXXXXXX</string>
<string android:name="com.twitter.sdk.android.CONSUMER_SECRET">XXXXXXXXXXX</string>

---

2. Add the Button:

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

HINT: you can use a custom button just follow this simple answer

private TwitterLoginButton twitterBtn;

...

twitterBtn = (TwitterLoginButton) findViewById(R.id.twitter_connect);
twitterBtn.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
    @Override
    public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) {
        // Do something with result, which provides a TwitterSession for making API calls
        // which is do the callback from twitter to get the Email
        TwitterSession session = TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().getActiveSession();
        TwitterAuthToken authToken = session.getAuthToken();
        String token = authToken.token;
        String secret = authToken.secret;

        TwitterAuthClient authClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
        authClient.requestEmail(session, new Callback<String>() {
            @Override
            public void success(Result<String> result) {
                // Do something with the result, which provides the email address
                // the email is saved in the result variable 'result.data'
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Email" + result.data, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
                // Do something on failure
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
        // Do something on failure
    }
});

Next, pass the result of the authentication Activity back to the button:

// Pass the activity result to the login button.
twitterBtn.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

like so:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    // Pass the activity result to the login button.
    twitterBtn.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

            TwitterSession session = TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().getActiveSession();
            TwitterAuthToken authToken = session.getAuthToken();
            TwitterAuthClient authClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
            authClient.requestEmail(session, new Callback<String>() {
                @Override

                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
                @Override
                public void failure(TwitterException e) {
                }
            });

        }

        @Override
        public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
            ShowToast(mcontext, "Login failed due to: \n "+exception.getMessage());
        }

Here Twitter sdk helps you to provide the email, You just need to provide the permission requesting for email. Twitter sdk will check for the visibility of the email on your twitter account,If it has the permission it will provide you the Email else we need to handle the if it doesn't send's the email.

client.requestEmail(twitterSession, new Callback<String>() {
        @Override
        public void success(Result<String> result) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Twitter success email : " + result.data);
            email = result.data;
            if (email == null){

            }else {
            Log.d(TAG,"Email"+ email);  
            }

        }

        @Override
        public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Twitter failed  email : " + exception);
        }
    });
