Question

Here is the class:

package com.twitter.android;

import java.io.File;

import twitter4j.StatusUpdate;

import twitter4j.TwitterException;
import android.app.Activity;

    private final Activity activity;
    private String twitt_msg;
    private File image_path;

    public Twitt_Sharing( Activity act, String consumer_key, String consumer_secret ) {
        this.activity = act;
        mTwitter = new Twitter_Handler(activity, consumer_key, consumer_secret);
    }

    public void shareToTwitter(String msg, File Image_url) {
        this.twitt_msg = msg;
        this.image_path = Image_url;
        mTwitter.setListener(mTwLoginDialogListener);

        if (mTwitter.hasAccessToken()) {
            // this will post data in asyn background thread
            showTwittDialog();
        } else {
            mTwitter.authorize();
        }
    }

    private void showTwittDialog() {

        new PostTwittTask().execute(twitt_msg);

    }

    private final TwDialogListener mTwLoginDialogListener = new TwDialogListener() {

        @Override

        }

        @Override

                Toast.makeText(activity, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

    }

    class PostTwittTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
        ProgressDialog pDialog;

        @Override

            pDialog = new ProgressDialog(activity);
            pDialog.setMessage("Posting Twitt...");
            pDialog.setCancelable(false);
            pDialog.show();
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... twitt) {
            try {
                // mTwitter.updateStatus(twitt[0]);
                // File imgFile = new File("/sdcard/bluetooth/Baby.jpg");

                return Share_Pic_Text_Titter(image_path, twitt_msg, mTwitter.twitterObj);

            } catch (Exception e) {
                if (e.getMessage().toString().contains("duplicate")) {
                    return "Posting Failed because of Duplicate message...";
                }
                e.printStackTrace();
                return "Posting Failed!!!";
            }

        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(final String result) {

            super.onPostExecute(result);
            pDialog.dismiss();
            if (null != result && result.equals("success")) {
                activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                    @Override

            }
        }
    }

    public String Share_Pic_Text_Titter(File image_path, String message, Twitter twitter)
            throws Exception {
        String Status = "";
        try {

            StatusUpdate st = new StatusUpdate(message);
 --------------------------**Error in the line below**--------------------------------
            st.setMedia(image_path);
            twitter.updateStatus(st);
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    Toast.makeText(activity, "Successfully update on Twitter...!",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });
            Status = "success";
            /*
             * Toast.makeText(activity, "Successfully update on Twitter...!",
             * Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
             */
        } catch (TwitterException e) {
            Status = "fail";
            Log.v("log_tag", "Pic Upload error" + e);
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    Toast.makeText(activity, "Ooopss..!!! Failed to update on Twitter.",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });

        }
        return Status;
    }

    public void Authorize_UserDetail() {

    }
}

Now in the line st.setMedia(image_path); it is showing error which states The method setMedia(File) is undefined for the type StatusUpdate Has anyone ever faced this.?

Answer 1

According to the documentation, the method setMedia(File file) is available in Twitter 4j v2.2.5+ so it is unable to find that method in versions below this.

Updating to a newer version solves the problem.
