[Android Bootcamp] Twitter Client - Review my app

[ahenehan]

My app is ready for review. I couldn't get the api support for 10 to work. I tried using actionbarsherlock and got an error "hierarchy of the type is inconsistent". Stack overflow said this was due to the fact that i didn't have the support library included. Once I included that it said that the library was referenced twice and the rest of my code broke... /cc @nesquena @timothy1ee

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

• In the future, definitely consider additional polish for the UI by reviewing the cloning a screen tutorial and Q&A and the drawables guide.
• Consider adding progress bars to your app whenever a network request goes out
• For tabs, try following this approach for cleaner tab listeners and better memory management.
• Nice use of tag to setup the ability to click the profile image and view a user's profile
• Good to see you properly communicated the user to the user timeline fragment from the activity.
• 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!

Here's a detailed Project 4 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 might be able to improve your submission.

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.

Week 9 (March 10th), we are going to have a 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.

Hmm, OK thanks for letting me know. You might try the ActionBarActivity approach in support-v7 as an alternative if you give this another go in the future.
