Improve Retweet support, including showing retweets from people I follow #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I've notices two related AndTweet inconsistencies with twitter.com 
behavior:
1. Retweets made in AndTweet are NOT "Retweets" from twitter.com point of 
view. They are just ordinary tweets, containing "RT @use_name...".

2. AndTweet doesn't show  in the timeline tweets that are "Real retweets" 
from twitter.com point of view (but I can see them in the same timeline 
through twitter.com web interface. Such "Real retweets" by people that I 
follow are shown (by twitter.com) as tweets of some other people (that I 
don't follow) with such comments:
"Retweets from people you follow appear in your timeline". See the 
screenshot attached: in my main timeline (called "Home" BTW...) we see the 
tweet by DroidHead_Ryan (I don't follow him), retweeted by cyanogen (I 
follow him).

The problem appeared in using "statuses/friends_timeline" API instead of 
"statuses/home_timeline".
--
This home_timeline is identical to statuses/friends_timeline except it also 
contains retweets, which statuses/friends_timeline does not (for backwards 
compatibility reasons). In a future version of the API, 
statuses/friends_timeline will go away and be replaced by home_timeline.

Fixed in AndStatus v.1.4.0:
1. "Native" Retweet implemented. Tweets retweeted in AndStatus are shown as 
"Retweeted" in twitter.com also.
2. Home timeline shows authors of Retweets, not users who retweeted them.
