@lasthulk :+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
• 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
• You are the only one who save the search setting (till now)
• Using static to transfer data among activities is not a good practice. There are several other options: SharedPreference, callback, bundle...
• Good to see you used a filters object to represent the filters to apply to the query (although a static one)
• 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.

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.
