## What it is
Talon for Twitter (Classic/Holo) is a fully open-source Twitter client for Android written in Java. It is deprecated in favor of the Material Design version of Talon, but remains available as a learning resource for Android development techniques.

## Use cases
- use a full-featured open-source Twitter client on Android
- study how a theme engine is implemented in an Android app
- learn how windowed activities and clickable links work on Android
- see how emoji support is added to an Android app
- explore an extendable Android Wear companion app
- learn from a large real-world Android Java project

## When to choose
- you want to read or learn from the source code of a complete Android social app
- you want to build and run a classic Holo-style Twitter client with your own API keys

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained Twitter client - this is deprecated and Twitter API changes have ended development
- you want the newer Material Design version of Talon
- you want to redistribute or sell a build of the app

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, theme, mobile-framework
- domain: social-media, android-tools, developer-tools
