Twitter Client

Week 3 Assignment

I tried to incorporate persistence using ActiveAndroid, but my models already extend BaseModel and since Java doesnt support multiple inheritance, I had to stop there. I tried refactoring the Model for this, but it was getting pretty complicated as I had to define relationships between a User and a Tweet model.

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

• Consider removing BaseModel and follow this json to model approach instead which doesn't require BaseModel
• Consider adding the character count for Compose Activity to limit to 140. See this event handler for more details.
• Nice to see you used PullToRefresh library
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after compose

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, Models, Authentication, API Communication, Preferences, ActionBar, et al) and see how they all fit together. We are close to a turning point in the course where you should be hitting a "critical mass" for your Android knowledge.

Basically just remove the BaseModel and create fields for each of your models. Then instead of storing jsonObject, just store the field values directly. See this guide for more details.
