Scr000155 New build of popular twitter app Gravity brings username auto completion in tweets

The best Symbian developer in the world, Jan Ole Sur, is at it again with a big update to Gravity, his beloved twitter application for Nokia smartphones. Jan tweeted this morning about this new update to Gravity that brings auto-completion when typing a username in your tweet. Check out the video demo of it running on my Nokia N8….

Just type “@” and then the first letters. In my case I replied to @janole and wanted to add someone else to the tweet so proceed to type “@th” and three options came up. If you type multiple letters your search is narrowed. The feature works instantly with zero load time and when you see the name you’re looking for just tap it and continue on with your tweet.

Updates in Gravity 1.50 Build 6710

  • Friends/hastag auto-completion when using the Gravity keyboard (S60v5 & S^3 only so far)
  • Trends working again, layout fixes, scrolling fix
  • auto-caps for the Gravity keyboard (might be a bit rough, let @janole know if you like it or not)
  • There’s a handy shortcut in #Gravity to send a DM: “d @username text”. Works even better with auto-completion now icon wink New build of popular twitter app Gravity brings username auto completion in tweets

    Thanks for the video, Mike. Very illustrative. A quick question for you, though:

    I see you have the native keyboard with the Gravity “underlay” with the character counter and the like. On my N8, when I click Edit I get the native keyboard that takes over the whole screen. How do you do that? Thanks.

      Are you still having this issue even with the latest version. If so… can you post a screenshot here? The comment system allows for image uploads.

        Hi Mike, I can’t seem to get the screen shot on my macbook, but basically it’s the normal text input screen… white box above and keyboard below. Then I have to press the green tick mark to see the text input of Gravity.

        I am afraid this has not been changed. Is this a Setting I have to set?

        TIA,

        Bas

          I think I figured it out! Hold down the “EDIT” button for a few seconds in the Gravity keyboard and take a look at those options.

            That’s it!! Thanks, Mike. It now works like a dream.

      It’s a 10-day trial then you have to buy. If purchased already then contact @janole for help.
