Twitter Reader

Twitter Reader was built as a part of an Android development tutorial. It searches Twitter for keywords using the Twitter Search API.

The app was a straightforward exercise in making HTTP requests, parsing JSON responses, and displaying results in a ListView. It used the v1 Twitter Search API, which has since been retired.

Source Code

The source code is available on GitHub: EmirWeb/Twitter-Reader

Status

The Twitter Search API v1 that this app relied on was deprecated and shut down by Twitter in 2013. The Android Market listing is no longer available. The source code remains as a reference for the patterns used at the time: AsyncTask for network calls, manual JSON parsing, and ListActivity for displaying results.
