# Tweet Lanes
Tweet Lanes is a fully functional Twitter client, targeted at Android devices running [API 14](http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.0.html) and above.
[](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweetlanes.android)
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:
* The Twitter Application consumer and secret keys.
* The App.net consumer and secret keys.
* The Play Store key used to sign the application.
## Credentials
To build and use the app, you'll need to create your own Twitter application (and App.net application, if you have a developer account).
### Twitter
* [Create a Twitter application](https://dev.twitter.com/apps)
* Don't worry about the callback url, just put a valid http url.
* Once you create it, go to it's settings.
* Inside *Application Type*:
* Make sure _Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter_ is checked
* Set the _Access_ to Read, Write and Access direct messages
* Now that you have the Twitter app configured, open the java file: [android/app/src/main/java/com/tweetlanes/android/core/ConsumerKeyConstants.java](https://github.com/chrislacy/TweetLanes/blob/master/android/app/src/main/java/com/tweetlanes/android/core/ConsumerKeyConstants.java) and modify your _TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY_ and _TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET_ variables with the ones from your Twitter app.
### App.net
App.net usage requires a similar set of steps.
* [Create an App.net application](https://account.app.net/developer/app/create/)
* Don't worry about the callback url, just put a valid http url.
* Once you create it, go to it's settings.
* Add the following callback URL: tweetlanes-auth-callback:///
* Now that you have the App.net app configured, open the java file: [android/app/src/main/java/com/tweetlanes/android/core/ConsumerKeyConstants.java](https://github.com/chrislacy/TweetLanes/blob/master/android/app/src/main/java/com/tweetlanes/android/core/ConsumerKeyConstants.java) and modify your _APPDOTNET_CONSUMER_KEY_ and _APPDOTNET_CONSUMER_SECRET_ variables with the ones from your app.

## 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.
Additional notes:
* Configuration files for Eclipse are provided. If using Eclipse/ADT, you should be able to import the client and libraries straight in.
