Creating a fully-fledged Twitter clone application is a lot of work—more work than this chapter would allow me, I'm afraid. I will therefore just illustrate how to read the tweets in your main feed (the tweets of the people you follow on Twitter). I will also show you how to post a tweet from the application.
I will be dispensing with all the fancy UI elements in this application, and instead will give you a fantastic basis to carry on developing a fully-fledged Twitter clone. You can consider adding the following functionality:
- Deleting tweets
- Retweeting
- Following someone
- Unfollowing someone
- Sending private messages
- Searching
- Viewing profile information
There is a lot of additional functionality ...
