Good job getting all the required stories done. Consider adding more functionalities to your app so that it can match to the real Twitter app as close as possible.

A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp relatively (Consider externalizing the logic to utils class)
• Consider adding pull to refresh for the home timeline using the SwipeRefreshLayout
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after composing a new tweet
• Consider adding local persistence of tweets by using ActiveAndroid in the Tweet and User. See the persistence guide and this other guide for more details.
• Consider adding the character count for Compose Activity to limit to 140. See this event handler for more details.

Hopefully by now you feel pretty comfortable with all the major pieces to basic Android apps (Views, Controllers, ActionBar, Navigation, Models, Authentication, API Communication, Persistence, et al) and see how they all fit together. We are close now to a turning point in the course where you should be hitting a "critical mass" towards your knowledge of Android.
