Log in twitter in android

Question

I use the library "twitter4j" to interface with Twitter API. I need to write log in code but i don't understand very well how i can do it. I must write an application where user can specify username and password and i must take this value(username and password) and log in Twitter. I find a lot of kind documentation but I don't understand how I must use it. In details I don't understand why I must create an application with twitter account like this:

The Twitter API uses OAuth authentication . This means you don't directly use the username/password, but instead use OAuth tokens returned to you after the user logs into Twitter. There is no documentation to show you how to just use the username/password because that's not how the Twitter API is intended to be used.
