Tweet Lanes on the Google Play Store

This project contains the full source code to:

  • The Tweet Lanes client application.
  • The accompanying SocialNetLib project, which interfaces with the Twitter and App.net APIs.
  • All art resources, notably the logo and Play Store listings.
  • The App Engine project used for tweetlanes.com.

The only items used in the Play Store build of Tweet Lanes not present in this repository are:

Disclaimer

A few points to considering when browsing this code:

  1. Tweet Lanes was the first app I wrote in Java, as well as my first Android app. It is both my Android and Java 'Hello World'. The project contains much code that causes me to cringe when looking at it now, but it exists because I simply didn't know better at the time of writing it.
  2. Tweet Lanes was developed on the fly. I often added a feature and shipped it that night. If that new code was buggy, I sometimes added a quick and dirty fix to get things going again. The intent was often to go back and clean such code up, but due to the sheer amount of work I had to do, that rarely ended up happening.

In conclusion: there is currently some dog-awful code in this project. I know this only too well. Please try not to judge my coding ability on the worst parts, but do feel free to fork 'n fix :)

Usage

\android\client contains the bulk of the code. This project is dependent on the following libraries:

  • \android\libraries\SocialNetLib - An abstracted library that interfaces with Twitter and App.net.
  • \android\libraries\SupportLibraryv4 - A slightly modified copy of the Android Support Library.

Additional notes:

  • If building the project for yourself, I would suggest creating a new Twitter application. Be sure to update CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET with your new values.
  • The project is configured to use Twitter by default. If you want to use App.net, just set SOCIAL_NET_TYPE to SocialNetConstant.Type.Appdotnet, and update CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET accordingly.
  • Configuration files for Eclipse are provided. If using Eclipse/ADT, you should be able to import the client and libraries straight in.
