Getting “Have you authenticated with Twitter” using Fabric and using Twitter API Client

Question

I'm trying to create a recyclerview of tweets using Fabric. But every time i try to create an TwitterApiClient after authenticating using Fabric all i get is an error with "Have you Authenticated with Twitter?" Here's the code.

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(TWITTER_KEY, TWITTER_SECRET);
    Fabric.with(this, new Twitter(authConfig));
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    ButterKnife.inject(this);

    TwitterApiClient twitterApiClient = Twitter.getApiClient();
    StatusesService statusesService = twitterApiClient.getStatusesService();
    statusesService.userTimeline(null, "rickygervais", null, null, null, null, null, null, null,
            new Callback<List<Tweet>>() {
                @Override
                public void success(Result<List<Tweet>> listResult) {
                    Log.i(TWITTER_USER_TIMELINE_REQUEST, "Successfully retrieved tweets");
                    feedAdapter.updateItems(listResult.data);
                }

                @Override
                public void failure(TwitterException e) {
                    Log.e(TWITTER_USER_TIMELINE_REQUEST, e.toString());
                }
            });
}

Please tell me i'm being a moron and missing something obvious.

UPDATE

This is the line where i am getting the error message

TwitterApiClient twitterApiClient = Twitter.getApiClient();

Answer 1

The TwitterApiClient requires a Session in order to make Twitter API calls.

Take a look at the documentation here: https://dev.twitter.com/twitter-kit/android/twitter-login

Also, to use guest authentication on android, be sure to update to the latest version of the SDK, 1.3.0.

Answer 2

Your statusesService line is incorrect.

You have

statusesService.userTimeline(null, "rickygervais", null, null, null, null, null, null, null,new Callback<List<Tweet>>() {

Should be

statusesService.userTimeline(session.getId(), null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, new Callback<List<Tweet>>() {
