    <p>So you want to open Twitter stream of particular user in official mobile Twitter application?</p> <p>It's likely possible, but requires some reverse-engineering, as the mobile app doesn't have official integration points defined: </p> <ul> <li>Get APK of official twitter app on your PC. You can use, for example, app backup tool in <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.metago.astro&amp;feature=search_result" rel="nofollow">ASTRO file manager</a> to package app into .apk, then copy the APK from SD card to PC </li> <li>Decode APK file with <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/" rel="nofollow">apktool</a></li> <li>Looking at decoded AndroidManifest.xml file will give you idea which activity you want to start</li> <li>Looking at .smali files will tell you what intent extra arguments is used for passing account name to activity</li> </ul> <p>Similar thing can be done for other Twitter clients like Seesmic, TweetDeck etc. But this approach is hacky and brittle!</p> <ul> <li>It relies on official twitter app being installed on the device</li> <li>The inner workings of official app can and will change between versions, and the changes will break your code</li> </ul> <p>Here are two alternatives:</p> <ul> <li>Direct users to twitter's mobile website, simply open mobile browser at, say, "http://mobile.twitter.com/cocacola"</li> <li>If you want good control over how the tweet stream looks, load tweets in JSON format from your activity, and display them yourself. This way, you get total control of how they look, but you don't get "reply", "retweet" etc. features on each tweet for free as with mobile website approach</li> </ul>
