Some months ago I started with my “Praktikum” named StatusNetAndroid. Therefore I had to get familiarized with Android App development and the RESTful-APIs of twitter respectively twitter-like services (status.net, identi.ca, twitter.com). There are lots of tutorials and code snippets out there, but the tiny parts to glue them all together can cost you hours But [...]
In this blog entry I want to talk about the StatusNet server and how you can write plugins for it. In my practical work for the DSG I used StatusNet to write a basic Tweetflow Engine (specification) which handles variables and offers a restful interface. StatusNet is an open source application written in PHP which [...]
I first made use of the ConfigurationBuilder, which looked quite obvious to me to apply new configuration values. These values are used by the twitter instance as expected, but when creating the RequestToken still the default twitter URL was created, as the configuration of the ConfigurationBuilder wasn’t propagated.

In short, I’ll create an Android App which receives Tweets from a StatusNet server, which is an open-source Twitter server, and provides means to filter them regarding to a user defined pattern. The server [...]
