I get Error 400 when posting status update? - JTwitter

Question

I am currently on video 10 (http://marakana.com/s/post/1046/threading_android_demo) of the android tutorials and I am struggling to get the status update to work.

When I use the JTwitter-yamba library provided I get a 301 exception saying " 301 (Moved Permanently)"

It is actually able to post the status, but crashes soon after that.

From this stackoverflow it seems like using an updated JTwitter library should fix it: Authorization error with jTwitter for android

When I use the newest JTwitter library (2.8.8) I get the following error: "HTTP\1.1 Bad Request"

I also get:

[06-23 00:05:13.244: E/AndroidRuntime(3329): {"error":"Client must provide a 'status' parameter with a value.","request":"/api/statuses/update.json"} http://yamba.marakana.com/api/statuses/update.json ]

I am unsure what to do..

Any help appreciated.

Fouad.

The StatusActivity.java code I am using:

    package com.example.yamba;

import winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class StatusActivity extends Activity {

    EditText editStatus;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.status); //

        editStatus = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_status);

    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        final String statusText = editStatus.getText().toString();

        new Thread() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Twitter twitter = new Twitter("student", "password");
                twitter.setAPIRootUrl("http://yamba.marakana.com/api"); // redirecting
                twitter.setStatus(statusText);

                Log.d("StatusActivity", statusText);
            }
        }.start();
        Log.d("StatusActivity", "Reached this point");

    }
}

The logcat error I get:

{"error":"Too many duplicate messages too quickly; take a breather and post again in a few minutes.","request":"/api/statuses/update.json"}

This is pretty self explanatory. You are posting the same message over and over again. This is used to prevent spammers misusing the API.

Actually, I think I found out why it didnt work before. It blocks me when I try to post too many status updates in one go! I am guessing JTwitter does not like it when you post too much because it thinks you may be abusing the system?
