#Details

INSTRUCTIONS:

This app uses the Google maps API so you need to add your API key to the file /app/src/release/res/values/google_maps_api.xml as follows:

<resources>
    <string name="google_maps_key" templateMergeStrategy="preserve" translatable="false">
        AIza.......
    </string>
</resources>

Same with the credentials for the Twitter API. Just modify the file fabric.properties: apiSecret=YOUR_BUILD_SECRET apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY

Fabric API key is generated and stored in the manifest. Add it as follows:

<application>
    .......
    <meta-data android:name="io.fabric.ApiKey" android:value="KEY_GOES_HERE"/>
</application>

To do/notes:

• Retrieved tweets list gets refreshed as we scroll up. Ideally I'd like to retrieve a fixed list of tweets (the most recent ones).
