names for any values we are going to store as "extras" in our Intent, and

ideally those are "namespaced" as well.

With that in mind, add the following data members to PostMonitor:

public static final String STATUS_UPDATE="apt.tutorial.three.STATUS_UPDATE";

public static final String FRIEND="apt.tutorial.three.FRIEND";

public static final String STATUS="apt.tutorial.three.STATUS";

public static final String CREATED_AT="apt.tutorial.three.CREATED_AT";

Then, we need to actually broadcast the Intent, instead of calling the

callback. To do that, replace your existing poll() implementation with the

following:

private void poll(Account l) {

try {

Twitter client=new Twitter(l.user, l.password);

client.setAPIRootUrl("https://identi.ca/api");

List<Twitter.Status> timeline=client.getFriendsTimeline();

for (Twitter.Status s : timeline) {

if (!seenStatus.contains(s.id)) {

try {

Intent broadcast=new Intent(STATUS_UPDATE);

broadcast.putExtra(FRIEND, s.user.screenName);

broadcast.putExtra(STATUS, s.text);

broadcast.putExtra(CREATED_AT,

s.createdAt.toString());

sendBroadcast(broadcast);

}

catch (Throwable t) {

Log.e("PostMonitor", "Exception in callback", t);

}

seenStatus.add(s.id);

if (s.text.indexOf(NOTIFY_KEYWORD)>- 1 ) {

showNotification();

}

}

}

}

catch (Throwable t) {

android.util.Log.e("PostMonitor",

"Exception in poll()", t);

}

}
