TweetMuse - Twitter client

Here's the second basic4ppc app I'm coding, this time with the oh so fabulous blist control

I miss a couple thing for future development, if anyone's able to help it would be greatly appreciated!
1- a conveniente way to use oAuth (it's the new and preferred way for twitter to authenticate users, based on token exchange instead of login/pass). It basically comes down to a few requests/responses back and forth between the client and the server, and sha1 encoding for signing your requests.
2- "multipart/form-data" uploading for integration with twitpic. I found some old threads in the forum but no real solution so far. Working on it..

Nice App.

Seems that my custom design trick for the bList Control works.

Looks really great! And what I like is that it works in Landscape mode, too.

Just found one small issue:
If you start up the application, go to "Account Info" and then change the password it is not hidden anymore.

Greetings,

It did! Thanks so much! :icon_clap:

Yeah I always start with that in mind as I frequently switch between portait and landscape The goal was to have the list span across the entire screen, but I went with an alternate layout as I was getting frequent "out of memory" errors when refreshing the list (and rebuilding all the bitmaps like you suggested in your blist trick)

If you start up the application, go to "Account Info" and then change the password it is not hidden anymore.

Thanks. For now, the * are just cosmetic indeed. I still have to look at a nice way to handle password fields in basic4ppc

Hmm. I think it should work with

bmp.value = blistItem.GetImage()
bmp.Create2(<new image dimensions>)
[work with the new image]

First get the Image from the bListItem and then recreate it with Create2 Method. The Create2 Method will dispose the old bitmap for freeing up the RAM.

Try to use Formlib.SetPasswordTextBox() to set a textbox to password mode.

Twitpic upload

Hi,

Ping me when you solved the upload problem, need a solution too for Twitpic and Twitgoo.

Maybe this can help

Hi,

I found a VB sample to do upload, maybe it helps:

Sample Visual Basic Examples by Conor Hackett - TweetPhoto Developers | Google Groups

I'm going to work on it too, need a generic way to do uploads. Have created something similar for the Android.
