SimpleTwitter is an Android app that allows the user to view their real Twitter timeline and post a new tweet. The app utilizes the Twitter REST API. Made for the CodePath Android University course (Project 2).
The following features have been implemented:
- User can compose and post a new tweet
- User can click a “Compose” icon (as a floating action button)
- 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 is manually inserted into the timeline and does not rely on a full refresh
- User can see a counter with total number of characters left for tweet on compose tweet page
- 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 refresh the tweets timeline by pulling down to refresh
- User can view more tweets as they scroll with infinite pagination
