Is the Twitter client for Android using OAuth?

S开发者_JAVA技巧ince basic auth has been deprecated, is the official android twitter app using OAuth? It still asks for my userid & password & I'm wondering how they are retrieving the oauth token ?

Sounds like they could be using xAuth - http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth. It's an alternate method of authenticating via OAuth. xAuth access is restricted to approved applications, you can't use it unless Twitter says you can.

Android client is using oAuth for twitter for example. User must login to twitter at least once through your app and get a key. It can be used several times and you dont need to get a key again.
