You are invited to join the project and you can contribute to this project in several ways:

• Implementing new features
• Fixing bugs
• Enhancing documentation
• Testing this application on other S40 phones
• Making modification in the source code to support other phones
• Sending emails to Instagram, requesting "create account" and "post photos" privileges
• ...

Thanks !

Any plan to port it to symbian in qt app?

[marcelobarrosalmeida]

No. I have briefly tested this app on S60 (E63) and it worked but some adjusts are necessary. Touch devices should be better supported. From Java to Qt there is a long path ....

Ok, because i am opening your code, and reading your code and testing. I am trying to implement new feature or fixing bugs if any. .

Create your fork and go ahead, muhamad. There is a lot of space for improvements. In my opinion, the urgent feature is the option to search/add/remove following/followers.

Hello Marcello,

I check instagram on android, there is no feature for search followers/following. But there is for find friends and find users. So how's the UI for search folllowers/following..??. Where should i put that search menu??.

Hi Iqbal,

Nice to hear that you are working on this projetct !

I was thinking about the following API calls:

//Search for a user by name.
GET https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q=<query>&access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

// Modify the relationship between the current user and the target user.
POST https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/<user_id>/relationship?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
follow/unfollow/block/unblock/approve/deny

Inside 'friends' screen, I was thinking about adding the option 'search user'.
An inputbox is displayed, data entered and a list with results is presented to the user with brief information about user and relationship status for each list entry.
A list of options is presented after clicking on list item (follow/unfollow/block/unblock/approve/deny).
After selection, the relationship is changed and the friends list is refreshed.
