Welcome to challenges #18 and #19
Profile Status
I apologise for the late posting of today's challenge I was unable to get online to post it.
Due to the lateness of this challenge I decided to combine both challenge #18 and #19 into a single challenge so you get a bit of extra time to work on it.
This challenge is part of the "Buddy-List" challenge posted last week that involves working with the site API so I hope you saved your projects. Last time we asked you to create an app that would display a users friend list and this challenge will add more to that app...
#18 For this challenge you will need to add the ability to display a friends profile information (when selecting a friend from the list) and when you display their profile information their username should be coloured using their user colour. So for example if I am on your friends list and you select to display my profile information is should display my name in RED because that is my user colour.
You can get a users profile information using the following API call:
You can get a list of users messages using the following API call:
So lets run down what you need to do:
1) Display a friends profile information when friend selected.
2) Display their username colourized match the user colour (this is included in the profile info).
3) Display a list of friends status messages when friend selected.
Requirements for this challenge:
Must do all 3 things listed above using the API.
User must be able to "login" with their own username and API key.
Bonus points awarded to everyone who completes this challenge and a guaranteed prize will be given to one of the entrants when the challenge closes (randomly chosen from all qualifying entries).
Good luck cooll;
