Customizing Alfred

Adding features to Alfred is quite simple. Here's how to do it:

1. Fork the Alfred repo
2. Create a class that follows the following format:

package com.example.android.softkeyboard;

//Import statements here

public class <Classname> {

    private static final String API_KEY = <API_KEY>;

    public static String <Method_Name>(String query) {
		//Do what you want Alfred to do here
    }
}

3. In Bot.java, add a case in the switch statement in the format:

        case "<command> me":
        	String command_result = <Classname>.<Method_name>(params)
        	String short_url = Bot.shortenURL(command_result);
        	response = !command_result.equals("") ? "Alfred: Here's what you requested: " + short_url : "Alfred: I can't find anything on that";
            break;

4. That's it!
