Re: [ecf-dev] TweetHub - increasing number of API calls allowed

["James Sugrue" <james@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott

In the TwitterContainer of the provider plugin, you can 
set the refresh rate.

I'm actually planning on doing something about this in the 
preferences today.
I've seen a nice way where the user can decide where to 
spend their API calls. I'll have it checked in this 
evening.

Here's the code you can change:

class AutoRefreshThread extends Thread {
		int refreshDelay = 10000;


I would also think we should comment out this call that we 
making in the refresh thread for now:

refreshTwitterFriends();

We get the list of friends at the beginning, so the user 
would be relatively up to date. That means that every 
<refreshDelay> milliseconds we'd only make one call, 
rather than two.

Hope that helps
James
