Why is this error '- a read-only application cannot POST'

Question

Logcat:

12-05 23:37:01.721:W/System.err(534): 401:Authentication credentials (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth) were missing or incorrect. Ensure that you have set valid conumer key/secret, access token/secret, and the system clock in in sync. 12-05 23:37:01.721: W/System.err(534): 401:Authentication credentials (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth) were missing or incorrect. Ensure that you have set valid conumer key/secret, access token/secret, and the system clock in in sync. 12-05 23:37:01.721: W/System.err(534): error - Read-only application cannot POST 12-05 23:37:01.721: W/System.err(534): request - /1/statuses/update.json 

Although I can read the screen name using the getScreenName () function and set the read permission to write to my Twitter application, it gives the above logcat. And I use jar twitter4j file.

Answer 1

• Log in to your app: http://dev.twitter.com/apps
• On the Settings tab, change the Application type value to Read, Write and Access direct messages
• On the Reset keys tab, click the Reset button, update the user key and secret in your application, respectively.

It seems that resetting the keys will change the settings for your application type.

Go to https://dev.twitter.com/ → My applications → “go to your current application” → Settings → Give permission for “Read, write and direct access” → Save. After that, delete your project from the emulator or device, → Clear project → Run project.

Answer 5

There may be a problem with your twitter application: Perhaps recording permission may be a problem:

Go to https://dev.twitter.com/ → My applications → “go to your current application” → Settings → Give permission for “Read, write and direct access” → Save. After that, delete the project from the emulator or device, → Clear project → Run project.

You must also revoke your previous permission after resetting your permission.

• Go to https://twitter.com/settings/applications
• Find your application and you will see that it has read permission.
• Revoke access
