A way to create a twitter app with phonegap

PHONEGAP TWITTER APP This project serves as an example of how to create a twitter application or functionality within Phonegap using ChildBrowser.

This app will remember your Twitter authentication and allow you to tweet from your app.

I've created a blog post tutorial that goes into full detail. http://www.drewdahlman.com/meusLabs/?p=40

SET UP:

  1. Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps and create a new app.
  2. Be sure to put in a callback URL ( doesn't have to be live )
  3. once set up go to "settings"
  4. Change the access to "Read-Write"
  5. put your in callback url

HOW TO SEE EXAMPLE:

  1. Download the GIT project
  2. Open the init.js file ( twitter/www/js/init.js )
  3. change lines 18,19,20 and 79
  4. open the xCode project and run!

HOW TO USE:

  1. Download the project from GIT
  2. The JS files in the "plugging" folder are what you will need.
  3. Grab the following files -
    • ChildBrowserCommand.m
    • ChildBrowserCommand.h
    • ChildBrowserViewController.m
    • ChildBrowserViewController.h
  4. Drag those into your xcode project into the plugins folder.
  5. Drag "ChildBrowser.bundle" and "ChildBrowserViewController.xib" into the resources folder.
  6. In your PhoneGap.plist create a new external host and set the value to *
  7. add a new Plugin KEY: ChildBrowserCommand VALUE: ChildBrowserCommand
  8. save!

ready to go!

enjoy!
