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

• You should implement infinite loading
• Consider moving the search field into the ActionBar using a custom ActionBar layout or with a SearchView
• Properly used spinners (with populated values) or checkboxes to allow users to select filters
• Consider adding the ability to share a news article. This is an important learning for this assignment even though it's optional.
• Consider trying out the RecyclerView, the successor to the ListView and GridView.
• Try out the third-party ButterKnife library to simplify a lot of boilerplate findViewById() calls.
• After user selects filter and save, you start a SearchActivity again, which is not good. There are several ways to send the data back to your current SearchActivity (using callback, sharedpeference)

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.
