I think my tutorial describes what you want to do. See TMT5P1 [LINK] . Requires Child Browser plugin [LINK] (no Twitter plugin needed) to do OAuth 1.0a Twitter login. Video demo [this video] on PhoneGap / Android plugins. In TMT5P1 user logs in to their twitter account from your phonegap app, gives permission to the app to access their twitter account, after which all Twitter APIs are available via javascript in your app. Includes composing and sending a tweet.
