Request a User's Email Address

Requesting a user’s email address requires your application to be whitelisted by Twitter. To request access, please use this form.

To request a user’s email, call the TwitterAuthClient#requestEmail method, passing in a valid TwitterSession and Callback.

TwitterAuthClient authClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
authClient.requestEmail(session, new Callback() {
    @Override
    public void success(Result result) {
        // Do something with the result, which provides 
        // the email address
    }

    @Override
    public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
      // Do something on failure
    }
});

This will start the ShareEmailActivity and display the following screen to the user.

If the user grants access and the email address is available, the success method is called with the email address in the result.

Note

Even if the user grants access to her email address, it is not guaranteed you will get an email address. For example, if someone signed up for Twitter with a phone number instead of an email address, the email field may be empty. When this happens, the failure method will be called because there is no email address available.

If the user denies access, the failure method will be called instead.
