Today, I had a presentation at ITrain for the Windows Mobile Development Bootcamp. After discussing with Mike on what to demo, he suggested that I come out with a Twitter Windows Mobile App so that we can do simple checking on our Friends Timeline as well as allowing for Twitting to be done on the go.
So after another round of checking the Twitter API, I have managed to use both the “Friends Timeline API” to check out my friends and the “Status API” to update my status. Below are some shots from the Windows Mobile 6 emulator.
-
- Twitter Mobile Login
-
- Twitter Mobile Friends’ Timeline
-
- Twitter Mobile Status Update
Since it was a presentation, I have also uploaded a PowerPoint slide on the basics on Windows Mobile development. You can find that here. It covers some basic Windows Mobile tech and some of the best practices of Windows Mobile development. For the source code on how to connect to the API, just get it right here.

thats great that you are talking about the twitter api,a good example of searching with the twitter api is on twiogle.com because you can search on twitter and google at the same time.
Hi,
I am also trying such an application.I tried using yedda dll.But when i tried to dewploy the application i am getting an error.
“Error 1 Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e. Error writing file ‘%csidl_program_files%\twitterwindowsmobile\system.dll’. Error 0x80070070: There is not enough space on the disk.

Are you running the program on the emulator or on the actual device?
I have a question.
How did you make the authentication of twitter..??
Are you using Basic Auth,cURL or OAtuth..??
I checked your code on application you uploaded. but I could not figure it out.
Can you explain that more specific??
thank you in advance.
Hello insoo,
My authentication is done by passing in a network credential. You can see the code in Form1.cs with this code:
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
You can replace the username and password parameters with a string of your username and password. I got mines from the login form.
Hope that helps!
