:+1: great job here Ed! A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly
• Consider adding pull to refresh for the home timeline as explained in the cliffnotes page
• Good that you only have a single method used everywhere which sends the timeline API call
• Good to see you added the tweet to the home timeline after you posted new on compose
• Consider adding the character count for Compose Activity to limit to 140. See this event handler for more details.
• Glad to see you made the compose activity into a dialog instead
• Consider adding ActiveAndroid to 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.
