New release of Twim is once again out of the door.

Twitgoo Service

Now you can post photos from Twim to Twitgoo

With the latest version (v1.11) you will gain the following new features:

  • Twitgoo support. Now you can take a photo and send it directly to Twitgoo service.
  • Retweet feature fills up the status update box with the selected tweet.
  • Clock is shown in the bottom of the menu screen so you know what  time it is even if you Tweet with Twim 24/7.

Download the latest version from Twim page here. Tweet me (@tlaukkanen) if you like the new features :)

For the next versions I have planned on implementing an option to upload existing photos from your memory card as then you will have much more higher quality photos to upload to TwitPic and Twitgoo. This is because Java MMAPI doesn’t let application to take full resolution pics within Java application for unknown reasons.

You asked for it, You got it (TwitPic)

It seems that Twitter made some changes to their API since the Twim application just started to have some trouble when parsing the date stamps for the statuses. That turned out to be a simple bug that was causing it. The bug was fixed in a second but I couldn’t make a release before I had finished implementing the TwitPic support that I had already started coding. TwitPic support was highly requested from many users so hopefully this will make you happy :)

Twim with Unicode support

I added UTF-8 encoding support to the Twim application. In case you didn’t know, Twim is Twitter client software that runs on all phones that support J2ME. With the latest version you should be able to see correct characters in tweets if your phone has required fonts available. Here’s for example my test tweet containing simplified Chinese characters:

This was rather easy to implement since we can define encoding when constructing stream reader from input stream:

  1. public void doStuff(InputStream stream) {
  2.   InputStreamReader reader;
  3.   try {
  4.  
  5.     // Try to initialize reader with UTF-8 encoding
  6.     reader = new InputStreamReader(stream, "UTF-8");
  7.  
  8.   } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
  9.  
  10.     // Device doesn’t support UTF-8, use default
  11.     reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
  12.  
  13.   }
  14.   // …read data and do stuff…
  15. }

This version also has a new feature for refresing the feed without the need for restart. You can download the application from Phoload page or from here.
