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

• Properly reused the single base method in search activity to fetch results for both initial load and the pagination. Unfortunately no page was sent to the function
• Nice to see you added the search box to the ActionBar!
• Properly used spinners (with populated values) or checkboxes to allow users to select filters
• Properly sent and received relevant filters using a callback to pass data between activities
• Consider adding the ability to share a news article. This is an important learning for this assignment even though it's optional.
• Make sure to try out creating a date picker dialog.
• Try out the third-party ButterKnife library to simplify a lot of boilerplate findViewById() calls.

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.
