Tweet posting with media_ids fails

[SKrPl]

Parent issue: https://github.com/fossasia/loklak_wok_android/issues/41

Steps to post a tweet with media:

1. Obtain media ID using POST media/upload twitter API endpoint: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/media/upload-init (Media ID is obtained for small files, without using APPEND and FINIALIZE command).
2. Use the obtained media ID in statuses/update(https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update) by providing the media ID in media_ids parameter. This request throws an HTTPException 400, and with an error message:

   {"errors":[{"code":324,"message":"Invalid media id 889241623330263044"}]}

Tried to test the request with twurl and an Webapp developed by a twitter team member (http://django-rest-apis.herokuapp.com/media/video), both of it throw the same error (mentioned above).

Searched a bit about this and found the following discussions:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31808295/android-400-bad-request-error-when-trying-to-tweet-with-media-using-fabric-an (used additional owner parameter, still doesn't work)
• https://twittercommunity.com/t/post-to-media-upload-return-media-id-but-using-that-media-id-in-statuses-update-return-invalid/57087/12

Supported image media types: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP Image size <= 5 MB, animated GIF size <= 15 MB

@abishekvashok Yes, the image I tried was of JPG type and the size was 34KiB.

Twitter reject photos and videos that have less color in it.

Post media_id_string instead of media_id @SKrPI
