[twitter-dev] Basic Authentication

[Allison Inouye]

I'm trying to make a blackberry app that gets your friends timeline.
However I keep getting the 401 unauthorized error on any attempt I
make. I am using the same code as the open source BBTweet so I don't
understand why this doesn't work for me. The username and password are
correct. If I copy and paste them into the twitter login page it works
fine. Do I need to sign up somewhere to get this to work?
AuhenticationHash is not null either I tried printing it out.

ENCODING:
byte[] toEncode = ("username:password").getBytes();
ByteArrayOutputStream newHash = new ByteArrayOutputStream
(toEncode.length);
Base64OutputStream base64OutputStream = new Base64OutputStream
(newHash);

try {
        base64OutputStream.write(toEncode, 0, toEncode.length);
        base64OutputStream.flush();
        base64OutputStream.close();
}
        catch (Exception ioe) {
}

authenticationHash = newHash.toString();

GET:
StreamConnection s = (StreamConnection)Connector.open("http://
twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml", Connector.READ_WRITE,
true);
sendConn = (HttpConnection)s;
sendConn.setRequestProperty
(HttpProtocolConstants.HEADER_AUTHORIZATION,"Basic " +
authenticationHash);
sendConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
