Presence 3

posted Dec 9, 2009 8:22 AM by Theresa McClain
Presence 3 is *almost* finished.  I've completed all the requirements, and am working on some of the extra credit as well as some enhancements of my own that I've come up with and decided to implement.  One of the extra credit items was to show each friend's most recent status underneath their display name in PersonListView - I did that, and didn't like it as much as having their username displayed.  I know that in Presence 4 we're going to add a few modes, and it kind of seems like seeing your friends' status updates in a list should belong in a mode, available by selecting a tab.  I don't know - we'll see what happens in Presence 4.

Here are a few enhancements I'd like to work on:

  • Add the ability to tweet directly to one of the people in your friends list from the detailTableView.  This would add something like @username at the beginning of the tweet text, already filled in for you before you start typing.  The TweetView nib file is already finished, so that should be easy.
  • Provide the ability to view a friend's list of friends by pushing another tableview onto the navigation stack from the detailView.
  • Change the settings nib file so that it uses a more standard looking table view to show the username and password.  Maybe there are other configuration options to put here, as well?
  • Make the username textfield active (give it focus) when that view is first displayed to the user.  This should be really easy.
  • Make the tweet text TextView control active (give it focus) when that view is first displayed.  Again, that should be really easy.

I'm not going to spend a LOT of time enhancing this as I want to get onto the final project, which a friend and I are working on together.  :)
