    <p>Managed to get to the bottom of this in the end!</p> <p>My particular problem was that I didn't enter a Callback URL in the Twitter Apps setup page. I'm only interested in sending tweets to my app's linked Twitter account and I already have the 4 tokens/secrets, so I don't need to get the user to authorise thier own account via my app. As such, I don't need a Callback URL.</p> <p>Unfortunately, the Twitter apps page lets you leave that field blank when you request the tokens/secret, and they don't make it clear that the Callback URL is a required field. If you don't need it, you can put absolutely anything you like in there; But if you leave it blank, Twitter won't let you tweet from your app! Setting the access type to "Read &amp; Write" is good enough just to update status, but set it to "Read, Write &amp; Direct Messages" if you want to do more.</p> <p>Some tutorials say you should set the app type to "Browser" (instead of "Desktop"), but that option seems to have disappeared from the Twitter apps page, so I guess that's no longer important.</p> <p>I managed to find some very good tutorials about tweeting from an Android app (<a href="http://www.mokasocial.com/2011/07/writing-an-android-twitter-client-with-image-upload-using-twitter4j/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, <a href="http://blog.doityourselfandroid.com/2011/02/13/guide-to-integrating-twitter-android-application/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and, in particular, <a href="http://blog.blundell-apps.com/sending-a-tweet/" rel="nofollow">here</a>) which make it clear that the Callback URL is a requirement, and go on to explain very clearly how to get it to work.</p>
