Try this code..

    final SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager
                        .getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
                String token = prefs.getString(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN, "") != null ? prefs
                        .getString(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN, "") : "";
                String secret = prefs.getString(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, "") != null ? prefs
                        .getString(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, "") : "";


                    if (token != null && !token.trim().equals("") && secret != null
                        && !secret.trim().equals("")) {
                    AccessToken a = new AccessToken(token, secret);
                    Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
                    twitter.setOAuthConsumer(Constants.CONSUMER_KEY,
                            Constants.CONSUMER_SECRET);
                    twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(a);

     Configuration conf = new ConfigurationBuilder()                 
                        .setOAuthConsumerKey(Constants.CONSUMER_KEY) 
                        .setOAuthConsumerSecret(Constants.CONSUMER_SECRET) 
                        .setOAuthAccessToken(a.getToken()) 
                        .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(a.getTokenSecret()) 
                        .build(); 

     OAuthAuthorization auth = new OAuthAuthorization (conf, conf.getOAuthConsumerKey (), conf.getOAuthConsumerSecret (), new AccessToken (conf.getOAuthAccessToken (), AuthAccessTokenSecret ()));

       ImageUpload upload = ImageUpload.getTwitpicUploader ("fa6707f43c41faab003dc134348acabd",auth);

        url = upload.upload(new File(path));


        twitter.updateStatus(url);


///Add twitter4j-core-2.1.11jar to libs

After uploading to twitpic a url will be generated. – user1640247 Oct 04 '12 at 09:42 — user1640247, Oct 04 '12 at 09:42

You need to upload the picture to a picture service like twitpic, which will return an URL, that you then put into your status update.

There are libraries like Twitter4J out there, that can help you with this task.

Have a look at Zwitscher on how to use it: code to upload

Twitter4j 3.0.3 has updated its ImageUpload class. ImageUpload.getTwitpicUploader method is now deprecated; it has only ImageUpload.upload method. Also, you have to add these two .jar on your projects build path:

twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar
twitter4j-media-support-3.0.3.jar

You can get more info at: http://twitter4j.org/oldjavadocs/3.0.3/index.html

First you need to create an app on twitter

here is code to post message on twitter

 ConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
        configurationBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey(context.getResources().getString(R.string.twitter_consumer_key));
        configurationBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(context.getResources().getString(R.string.twitter_consumer_secret));
        configurationBuilder.setOAuthAccessToken(LoginActivity.getAccessToken((context)));
        configurationBuilder.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(LoginActivity.getAccessTokenSecret(context));
        Configuration configuration = configurationBuilder.build();
        final Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(configuration).getInstance();

        new Thread(new Runnable() {

                private double x;

                @Override
                public void run() {
                        boolean success = true;
                        try {
                                x = Math.random();
                                twitter.updateStatus(message +" "+x);
                        } catch (TwitterException e) {
                                e.printStackTrace();
                                success = false;
                        }

                        final boolean finalSuccess = success;

                        callingActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                                @Override
                                public void run() {
                                        postResponse.onFinsihed(finalSuccess);
                                }
                        });

                }
        }).start();
