Opening a JAR

Twitter object. You may need to "follow" some classmates for

everyone to have followers in their accounts to direct message.

• Use the getStatus() method on Twitter to display the user's current
  status at the top of the activity when the activity is opened. Re-fetch

the status one second after submitting a status update, so the

current status shows identi.ca's rendition of your status – a good

way to make sure the round-trip of status information is working as

you expect.

• Store the password in an encrypted form in the user preferences, so

that if somebody hacked a user's phone and got the preference

store, they would still need the encryption key to find out the user's

account password.
