URL link to Twitter user with ID, not name

Question

I want to have a link to my twitter page that references it with my twitter ID and not twitter name. This is because I want to build the link into an app and the twitter name for the account may change in future.

Use ID in the end of this url, like:

Answer 2

After struggling with this issue for a while, found a solution which works on mobile:

https://twitter.com/intent/user?user_id=XXX
