👍 nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Decent effort on UI polish
• Glad to see you properly hooked up each of the different timelines to infinitely paginate.
• Correctly communicated between Fragment and Activity for User Profile
• Nice to see you used the ViewPager to properly setup the tabs!
• Nice to see you played around with styling the sliding tab strip
• Correctly and appropriately used OnClickListeners on the user's profile image to navigate to their profile view
• Nicely done architecting the fragments (base class and extension classes) such that you put as much code and logic as possible in the base class and then used abstract methods to define only the specific behavior where they differ.

This week (Week 5), we are going to cover the last major piece to the Android puzzle and that is using the hardware and SDK components such as the camera, photo gallery, location, maps, etc. After that, Week 6 and week 7 we will be covering a few important intermediate topics such as more about styling and animation as well as testing.

Following the bootcamp, we are going to have a public demo day to celebrate the progress you've all made with our next batch of Android students and multiple companies attending to see the group projects that you all have built. We are going to help however we can over the next few weeks to get the team project apps in shape for that.

👍 nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Nice to see you successfully used OAuth login. OAuth is widely used and it's important to understand OAuth v1 and v2 properly.
• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly.
• Nice to see you used the SwipeRefreshLayout for easy timeline refreshes.
• Nice touch with the character count being displayed while the user composes a tweet.
• Good to see you used DialogFragment. Fragment is an important component and its use is good practice.
• Consider using GSON to conveniently serialize and deserialize API responses into objects.
• Consider adding local persistence of tweets by using DBFlow in the Tweet and User. See the persistence guide and this other guide for more details.

Let us know if you have any other thoughts or questions about this assignment. Hopefully by now you feel pretty comfortable with all the major pieces to basic Android apps (Views, Controllers, ActionBar, Navigation, Models, Authentication, API Communication, Persistence, et al) and see how they all fit together. We are close now to a turning point in the course where you should be hitting a "critical mass" towards your knowledge of Android.
