• User can refresh tweets timeline by pulling down to refresh

The following optional features are implemented:

• User can view more tweets as they scroll with infinite pagination
• User can tap a tweet to display a "detailed" view of that tweet
• User can open the twitter app offline and see last loaded tweets
• On the Twitter timeline, leverage the CoordinatorLayout to apply scrolling behavior that hides / shows the toolbar.
• Replace all icon drawables and other static image assets with vector drawables where appropriate.

Video Walkthrough

Notes

I had trouble logging in because my Twitter account had been suspended for "impersonating" myself. The Twitter app frequently shut me out because of request overload, especially during infinite pagination implementation;

Open-source libraries used

• Android Async HTTP - Simple asynchronous HTTP requests with JSON parsing
• Glide - Image loading and caching library for Android

Troubleshooting

• If you receive the following error org.scribe.exceptions.OAuthException: Cannot send unauthenticated requests for TwitterApi client. Please attach an access token! then check the following:
• Is your intent-filter with <data> attached to the LoginActivity? If not, make sure that the LoginActivity receives the request after OAuth authorization.
• Is the onLoginSuccess method being executed in the LoginActivity. On launch of your app, be sure to start the app on the LoginActivity so authentication routines execute on launch and take you to the authenticated activity.
• If you are plan to test with Android API 24 or above, you will need to use Chrome to launch the OAuth flow.
• Note that the emulators (both the Google-provided x86 and Genymotion versions) for API 24+ versions can introduce intermittent issues when initiating the OAuth flow for the first time. For best results, use an device for this project.
