[Android Bootcamp] Twitter Client

[medha]

Hi @nesquena,

Please take a look at my Twitter Client.

User stories satisfied:

• User can sign in using OAuth login flow
• User can view last 25 tweets from their home timeline
• User should be able to see the user, body and timestamp for tweet
• User can compose a new tweet
• User can click a “Compose” icon in the Action Bar on the top right
• User will have a Compose view opened
• User can enter a message and hit a button to Post
• User should be taken back to home timeline with new tweet visible: The tweet is successfully posted on to twitter. But when I try to display it on the timeline, it sometimes fails with "RuntimeException while trying to read a Serializable object" error every once in a while. I can't seem to figure out why, and it doesn't happen all the time.
• Optional: User can see a counter with total number of characters left for tweet
  *User can load more tweets once they reach the bottom of the list

Not done:
Optional: User can refresh timeline by pulling down (i.e pull-to-refresh)
Optional: User can open the twitter app offline and see recent tweets Tweets are persisted into sqlite and displayed from the local DB

Thanks,
Medha

Medha, 👍 nice work overall. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Nice touch with the character count being calculated for Compose
• Good to see you added ActiveAndroid annotations to the models
• Question? Why is there no onActivityResult in TimelineActivity?
• You should only have a call to getHomeTimeline once in your timeline code
