Edit: I've updated the code to support hashtags. The original code eats hashtags, even when they're URI-encoded, so if you want to add hashtags to your tweets, check it out.

Here's a version that uses a native extern, but has simpler usage:

On the Monkey side:

'Tweet Intent
#If LANG="java"
	Import "native/dotweet.java"
	
	Extern
	
	Class DoTweet = "DoTweet"
		Function LaunchTwitter:Void(twitter_name:String, twitter_text:String, hashtags:String = "")
	End Class

	Public
		
#Else	
	Class DoTweet
		Function LaunchTwitter:Void(twitter_name:String, twitter_text:String, hashtags:String = "")
		Print "Twitter username: " + twitter_name
		Print "Output: " + twitter_text
		Print "Tags: " + hashtags
		Print "Twitter launch not supported on this platform."
		End Function
	End Class
		
#Endif

On the Java side (dotweet.java):

class DoTweet {

	public static void LaunchTwitter(String twitter_name, String twitter_text, String hashtags ) {
		try { 
			BBAndroidGame.AndroidGame()._activity.startActivity( Intent.parseUri("twitter://user?screen_name=" + twitter_name + "&text="+ twitter_text + "&hashtags=" + hashtags,0)); 
		} catch (Exception e) { 
			try { 
				BBAndroidGame.AndroidGame()._activity.startActivity(Intent.parseUri("https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=" + twitter_name + "&text="+ twitter_text + "&hashtags=" + hashtags,0));
			} catch (Exception e2) {
				Log.d("DEBUG","**uri parse Error");
			}
		} //
	}
	
	
}

Usage:

DoTweet.LaunchTwitter("nobuyukinyuu", "I'm tweeting automatically using an Android Intent.", "yes,android")
