Does any one know if or when twitter is going to release the source code for the android app?

The release was announced back in April

We had a great time working with the Android team and are thrilled that Google will be open sourcing the code used in this app in the near future. We look forward to the amazing experiences developers will create using Twitter APIs in their upcoming Android apps.

and it seems like they are not actually going to release it after all.

  • dunno I thought for sure it would just be in the git when they released the source for android 2.2 I've been itching to look at the source for a long time, I'm upset they took out the live background before doing so as well. Commented Sep 27, 2010 at 16:20

Twitter has made no announcements about the source code for Twitter for Android. I have asked several times on the Google Group with no official response. The app has basically been rewritten and at this point I do not expect Twitter to release the source code.
