B4A Library OAuth library

This library wraps the oauth-signpost open source project.
Using the OAuth object you can sign Http requests as required by some servers.
See this page for more information about OAuth: OAuth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Example of using OAuth to communicate with Dropbox is available here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...android-dropbox-oauth-tutorial.html#post59994

Installation instructions:
- Download the attached file.
- Copy OAuth.xml and OAuth.jar to the internal libraries folder: C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries

Just for info, oauth is used by a lot of web services. Twitter, dropbox, googledocs etc

The file in the first post was updated. The previous one included debugging messages.

I assume this is just a simple implementation without support for the Twitter oAuth 2.0 stuff? Or can it be used for Twitter etc. for posting updates?

Cheers,

OAuth 1.0 is supported. However according to this link it should work with Twitter: TwitterAndSignpost - oauth-signpost - Real-life example of how to use Signpost with Twitter - Simple OAuth message signing for Java - Google Project Hosting

Nice but eh does your library support this kind of stuff:

OAuthProvider provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider(
"http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize");

I couldn't find that.

I think it does.
When you do Oauth.
I think this is equivalent to the first URL. HttpUtilsService.OAuth.Initialize(developerKey, developerSecret)
And this is to the second URL.
HttpUtilsService.OAuth.SetTokenWithSecret(tokenKey, tokenSecret)

 

[Erel]

I believe that the provider is responsible to fetch the token from the token URL. It shouldn't be difficult to do it manually as done in the Dropbox example.

HttpUtilsService.OAuth.SetTokenWithSecret(tokenKey, tokenSecret)

how can it do that?

OAuth does not provide a wrapper for OAuthProvider ,so I don't see how the provider and the respective URLs can be set.

Please provide some help, because I am struggling how to get oauth running with b4a

 

[Erel]

Please do not make duplicate posts. See my answer in the other thread.

 

[Marco Nissen]

sorry about that

 

[merlin2049er]

Cool, i'll try this with Bit.ly. But they're using Oath2.

 

[tsteward]

will this or has this library been updated to oauth v2?

 

[Erel]

OAuth v2 is simpler. See this tutorial: OAuth 2.0 / Google web services tutorial
