:+1: nice work completing the required stories, would advise to attempt more optional stories for the next assignment. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Properly used spinners (with populated values) to allow users to select filters
• Consider using the ViewHolder pattern to improve performance of photos GridView.
• Consider adding the ability to share an image. This is an important learning for this assignment even though it's optional.
• Consider moving the search field into the ActionBar using a custom ActionBar layout or with a SearchView
• Consider creating a static method in a Helper/Utility class for common methods such as checking for internet
• Consider adding progress bars to your app whenever a network request goes out

Also, here's a more detailed Project 2 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common issues with this submitted project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine how you could improve your submission.

Let us know if you have any other thoughts or questions about this assignment. The next assignment (Twitter Client) will be especially important since it introduces the majority of the remaining pieces necessary to build a fully functional API client with complex feeds of data and user creation.
