Used Twitters's APIs to get the data, UniversaleImageLoader (https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader) to download and display the images and Android Async Http Client for all Async calls to the Instagram APIs (http://loopj.com/android-async-http/). Also used Scribe (https://github.com/fernandezpablo85/scribe-java) for oauth and Codepath's Rest Client template (https://github.com/thecodepath/android-rest-client-template).
