twitter's Introduction

Project 2 - Twitter

Twitter is an android app that allows a user to view their Twitter timeline and post a new tweet. The app utilizes Twitter REST API.

Time spent: 20 hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

  • User can sign in to Twitter using OAuth login
  • User can view tweets from their home timeline
    • User is displayed the username, name, and body for each tweet
    • User is displayed the relative timestamp for each tweet "8m", "7h"
  • User can *log out of the application by tapping on a logout button
  • User can compose and post a new tweet
    • User can click a “Compose” icon in the Action Bar on the top right
    • User can then enter a new tweet and post this to Twitter
    • User is taken back to home timeline with new tweet visible in timeline
    • Newly created tweet should be manually inserted into the timeline and not rely on a full refresh
  • User can see a counter that displays the total number of characters remaining for tweet that also updates the count as the user types input on the Compose tweet page
  • User can pull down to refresh tweets timeline
  • User can see embedded image media within a tweet on list or detail view.

The following optional features are implemented:

  • User is using "Twitter branded" colors and styles
  • User sees an indeterminate progress indicator when any background or network task is happening
  • User can select "reply" from home timeline to respond to a tweet
    • User that wrote the original tweet is automatically "@" replied in compose
  • User can tap a tweet to open a detailed tweet view
    • User can take favorite (and unfavorite) or retweet actions on a tweet
  • User can view more tweets as they scroll with infinite pagination
  • Compose tweet functionality is built using modal overlay
  • User can click a link within a tweet body on tweet details view. The click will launch the web browser with relevant page opened.
  • Replace all icon drawables and other static image assets with vector drawables where appropriate.
  • User can view following / followers list through any profile they view.
  • Use the View Binding library to reduce view boilerplate.
  • On the Twitter timeline, apply scrolling effects such as hiding/showing the toolbar by implementing CoordinatorLayout.
  • User can open the twitter app offline and see last loaded tweets. Persisted in SQLite tweets are refreshed on every application launch. While "live data" is displayed when app can get it from Twitter API, it is also saved for use in offline mode.

twitter's Issues

Project Feedback!

Nice work! It's great to see how far you've come after the first two weeks of the course! This past week we focused a lot on navigation with intents, customizing the App Bar / ToolBar, debugging, and using device SDK's (like camera and maps). We also got more practice sending network requests and passing parameters to the Twitter API. We hope you found this assignment useful and learned a lot while building your own Twitter app!

We put together a detailed Project 3 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common issues with this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine how you could improve your submission.

Let us know if you have any other thoughts or questions about this assignment. Next week we'll be extending our Twitter Client to learn how to use tabbed navigation and add extra functionality.
