BUILD YOUR OWN – BASIC API & PLUGIN INSTRUCTIONS

) sending tweets from your own applications

### via twidroid’s ACTION_SEND intent

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is a sample message via Public Intent"); 
sendIntent.setType("application/twitter"); 		
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null));


### via web apps for android:

<html>
<h2>send a Message with twitter:// url handler</h2>
<p><a href="twitter://send?Sample+Tweet+from+Twidroid">Send a message via Twidroid</a></p>
</html>


) creating plugins for twidroid

plugins for twidroid need to respond to the mime-type: application/twidroid-plugin.get
sample AndroidManifest.xml snippet from Google Maps 4 twidroid plugin:

<activity  android:icon="@drawable/tweet_geo"  android:name="LocationDialog"
                  android:label="@string/chooser_label" android:theme="@style/SpecialDialog">
	<intent-filter>
		<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />                	
		<action android:name="com.twidroidplugins.maps.LocationDialog"/>
		<!-- respond to mime-type application/twidroid-plugin.get -->
		<data android:mimeType="application/twidroid-plugin.get" />
		<action android:name="android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT" />
	</intent-filter>
</activity>


the plugin can return the following data types back to twidroid:
  • Intent.EXTRA_TEXT use to return text to Twidroid
  • setData to return a URL
  • Extra Strings: “latitude”, “longitude” to return location information

sample code snipped from Google Maps 4 twidroid plugin:
this snipped shows how the plugin returns an URL as well as location information back to twidroid. 
	Intent returnData = new Intent();
	returnData.setData(Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com?q="
		+ myLocationOverlay.getLastFix().getLatitude()+ ","
		+ myLocationOverlay.getLastFix().getLongitude() ));
	returnData.putExtra("latitude", myLocationOverlay.getLastFix().getLatitude());
	returnData.putExtra("longitude", myLocationOverlay.getLastFix().getLongitude());
	setResult(RESULT_OK, returnData);
	finish();

### twidroid content provider

to directly access tweets of twidroid to use in widgets or other applications, you can use the twidroid content provider. the uri for the content provider is content://twidroid.provider.Tweet/tweets.
the following sample code reads all currently cached tweets from twidroid and shows them as toast text:

 Uri allTweets = Uri.parse("content://twidroid.provider.Tweet/tweets");
	Cursor c = managedQuery(allTweets, null, null, null, null);
	if (c.moveToFirst()) {
		do{
		  Toast.makeText(TwidroidTest.this, c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("user_name")) + ": " +
		  c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("message")),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();               
		} while (c.moveToNext());
	}
