 Refer to the [Javadoc](http://twitter4j.org/en/javadoc.html) and [code examples](http://twitter4j.org/en/code-examples.html) provided by Twitter4J.
 
-###Tasks
-* Insert the relevant JAR files into your Eclipse project
-* Register at [dev.twitter.com](https://dev.twitter.com) and obtain consumer key and secret for your Twitter application.
-* Replace the existing HTTP network mechanisms for logging in, fetching tweets and submitting new tweets with the methods provided by Twitter4J.
+For using Twitter4J library, you need to register an app at [http://dev.twitter.com/apps](http://dev.twitter.com/apps). For your convenience, we have created an app & you can use the API key & secret (reproduced below). It is a good practice to create a separate class `TwitterConstants.java` and define these as static variables to be used in your app
 
+     public static String CONSUMER_KEY = "pC3D9eMxb8pXNAPhBHAQFYLoS";
+     public static String CONSUMER_SECRET = "8qhOLjLHiqLQJLLQUnBNSlnUoFtbLHjWQlnaxS5W3n6NkkUeOi";

+	editor.putString(TwitterConstants.PREF_KEY_TOKEN, accessToken.getToken());
+	editor.putString(TwitterConstants.PREF_KEY_SECRET, accessToken.getTokenSecret());
+
+2) Once the user gets authenticated with Twitter, he should automatically go to TweetListActivity where he can see his tweets. Modify the logic so that **only new tweets are fetched & appended to the tweet list**.
+
+3) Create a new Activity **ComposeTweetActivity** to compose a tweet. Make sure to keep the name exactly the same, also the Activity should extend normal Activity & not ActionBarActivity. A corresponding layout file **activity_compose_tweet.xml** will get generated. Replace the content of the file with the content below
