OAuth Issue: new to OAuth

I want to create an application which calls REST API of salesforce chatter. As a first Step I created an application in Manage Apps and obtained Consumer Key and Consumer secret. I gave callback url a dummy url which is not working.

 

I don't know what to do next. What I know is I should get access token to call APIs. Can some one help me to figure out what to do next. I'm trying all this in REST Client available for browser and I'm using Trial account.

Hello,

There is a step by step guide to creating a connected app in the Salesforce help:

https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=connected_app_create.htm&language=en_US

If you prefer an example, then take a look at the Salesforce 1 developer guide (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.186.0.salesforce1.meta/salesforce1/canvas_intro.htm), specifically chapter 13 - integrating your webapps with Salesforce1 (page 95)

Hope this helps
John.
