Project Feedback!

[codepathreview]

:+1: Great work! A few notes after checking out the assignment:

• Consider organizing your source files
• Properly reused the single base method in search activity to fetch results for both initial load and the pagination
• Nice to see you added the search box to the Toolbar!
• Good job using the ConnectivityManager to check for network availability
• Properly used spinners & check-boxes (with populated values) to allow users to select appropriate values.
• Properly sent and received relevant filters using a bundle to pass data between activities
• Consider using Parcelable over Serializable (benefits)
• Good to see you used a filters model to represent the filters to apply to the query
• Good job adding the ability to share a news article.
• 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.

Thanks for the feedback! I did organize my Java file into the 'articles' package. I follow the packaging by feature method. I tried adding the 'Fold' plugin for organizing resource files and it wouldn't work so, to save time I skipped that.

I spent a lot of time refactoring and reusing code and understanding java implementation patterns like Abstract classes and Interfaces and their uses. But I will add the rest of the features soon as I get more time :)
