Make Friends List like Snapchat

Hey coders!

I just finished the Ribbit app, but want to make the friends list work just like Snapchats. Does anyone have any tips how to do this?

Thanks.

I don't think Snapchat uses social networks. They are able to tell which of your contacts has snapchat, who has added you, and who does not have snapchat in your contacts. They ask for a username, password, email, and your cellphone number. The app says the cell phone number is what allows them to know this information.

I have never touched mobile dev, but I have seen the app (I'm doing the HTML tutorial where you create a marketing site for ribbit), From the screenshots it looks like every member is listed, which is very strange...

What do you mean work like Snapchat? To have it import friends from social networks? Or to just have the friends list be listed as a list view with the ability to perform an action next to their name?

Did you get it to work. Please post code. Karma is watching the webb.
