@ilentt if you do not submit by midnight tonight, I will withdraw you from the course. I try to be understanding of small problems, but this is too much delay and you have not been clear about when you will submit. Please message or email me if you have any other questions.

@chug2k I apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause. I am trying submitting an assignment on time. Thank you.

I saw your commit. Your project does not have the libs folder which contains several libraries used in the app. That's why app can not run now.

Please start with cloning this https://github.com/codepath/android-rest-client-template.git or downloading this https://github.com/codepath/android-rest-client-template/archive/master.zip

and use it to code.

Or you can download their libs folder https://github.com/codepath/android-rest-client-template/tree/master/app/libs

and put it in your project so that you can use several classes and functions (Such as OAuthBaseClient, OAuthLoginActionBarActivity...)

Pm me if you have any question

[ilentt]

@hoanle I just update the lib folder. However App is crashed, I am still fixing bug. Right now you can go to bed, at the morning when you wake up I will complete assignment for you. Thanks for your patience.

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

• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly
• Nice to see you used the SwipeRefreshLayout for easy timeline refreshes
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after composing a new tweet
• Nice touch with the character count being displayed while the user composes a tweet
• Glad to see you made the compose activity into a dialog instead
• 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.
• You still use Serialise to transfer object among activities, please use Parcel for better performance
• To scroll to top of the list after posting a tweet, why didn't you use rvTweet.scrollToPosition(0). It's more direct than use layout manager, right?
• You still parse json manually. Consider using Gson or Jackson for easy parsing and saving time
• In adapter,
  TextView tvUserName = holder.tvUserName; is not necessary, you can directly use holder.tvUserName

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, 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.
