Great job completing the required stories along with a few optional ones. Few notes after checking the code:

• Properly sent and received relevant filters using a bundle to pass data between activities
• Properly used spinners (with populated values) to allow users to select filters
• Properly reused the single base method in search activity to fetch results for both initial load and the pagination
• Consider using Parcelable instead of Serializable (benefits)
• Nice to see you added the search box to the ActionBar!
• Correctly used StaggeredGridView for showing the images
• Correctly added progress bars to your app whenever a network request goes out in addition to the placeholder images.

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.
