    String url3 ="https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token?";

    OAuthRequest get_info_request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.POST, url3);
    get_info_request.setCharset("UTF-8");
    get_info_request.addBodyParameter("grant_type", "authorization_code");
    get_info_request.addBodyParameter("redirect_uri", "xxxxxxxxxx");
    get_info_request.addBodyParameter("code", "xxxxxxxxx");
    get_info_request.addBodyParameter("USER_AGENT", "desktop:net.dean.ayati:v0.9.0 (by /u/ayati)");

While HTTP headers are case-insensitive you still have USER_AGENT spelt incorrectly.

It uses a '-' not '_' in it.

Try:

get_info_request.addBodyParameter("User-Agent", "desktop:net.dean.ayati:v0.9.0 (by /u/ayati)");

and see if that works.
