twitter4j - android twitter retrieveRequestToken 401 on request token

Question

I am trying the following sample app for twitter oauth.

http://www.androidsdkforum.com/android-sdk-development/3-oauth-twitter.html

private void askOAuth() {
        try {
            consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET);
            provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider("http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
                                                "http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
                                                "http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize");
            String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, CALLBACK_URL);
            Toast.makeText(this, "Please authorize this app!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            this.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(authUrl)));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(APP, e.getMessage());
            Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

When i run the following code it gives exception as following

"oauth.signpost.exception.OAuthNotAuthorizedException: Authorization failed (server replied with a 401). This can happen if the consumer key was not correct or the signatures did not match."

on this line String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, CALLBACK_URL);

I provided the correct 'key' and 'secret' does twitter giving me wrong key and secret ?

I have spent several hours on this. Seems that you have to set ANY value to the callback url in the Settings tab in your Twitter application developer panel. Keeping the default empty value disables dynamic callback urls.

All the tutorials and all the information I have found online is just void. Twitter long removed the "Client / Website" radio button.

Moreover, OAuth checks for clock skews.
