Talon for Twitter is a full-featured, open-source third-party Twitter client for Android, originally a paid Play Store app. Development ended in January 2023 after Twitter's API policy changes, and users must supply their own Twitter API keys to build it.

Use cases

• use twitter on android without the official app
• build a custom twitter client with my own api keys
• study the source code of a popular android twitter app
• view timelines and send tweets from a third-party android client
• learn android app development from a real-world social app codebase

When to choose

• you want a full-featured alternative Twitter client on Android and have your own developer API keys
• you want a real-world Java/Kotlin Android codebase to study or fork

When to avoid

• you expect active maintenance or working out-of-the-box functionality - development stopped in January 2023 due to Twitter's API policy
• you don't have Twitter developer API keys, since the app requires them to build and run
