@JAManfredi the requirement User is taken back to home timeline with new tweet visible in timeline doesn't look complete. The requirement means newly created tweet should be manually inserted into the timeline and not rely on a full refresh and adapter should be scrolled to top. Pls complete the requirement and update status here

:+1: nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good work on a clean UI
• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after composing a new tweet
• Nice touch with the character count being displayed while the user composes a tweet
• Nice to see you used a SwipeRefreshLayout library for easy timeline refreshes
• Glad to see you made the compose activity into a dialog instead
• Good to see you added DBFlow annotations to the models
• Good job adding offline support
• Good job implementing MVVM architecture
• Consider adding [progress bars] (http://guides.codepath.com/android/Handling-ProgressBars#actionbar-progress-bar) to your app whenever a network request goes out

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.

:+1: Decent work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Architecting the fragments (base class and extension classes) should be done 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. You started fine but still have a lot of code duplication
• Good to see you properly communicated the user to the user timeline fragment from the profile activity.
• Nice to see you used the ViewPager to properly setup the tabs
• Try to implement more optional features so that you will get to play with more widgets and understand complexities involved
• Considering this is 4th assignment and extension of last week's assignment, more efforts in UI polish would have been good.

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.
