7 years ago :+1: nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:
- Good to see you used ViewPager and TabLayout. These components are recommended by Material Design to enhance user experience and are found in majority of the apps. ViewPager can also be used separately without TabLayout to show paging of content using swipe in any section of the screen layout.
- Aim to get more familiar with creating custom drawables and styles by trying to customize different widgets.
- Nice to see you played around with styling the sliding tab strip.
- Remember to add an indeterminate progress indicator during background tasks.
- Nice to see you appropriately used OnClickListeners on the user's profile image to navigate to their profile view.
- Nice to see you properly communicated the user to the user timeline fragment from the profile activity.
- Glad to see you properly hooked up each of the different timelines to infinitely paginate.
- Nicely done architecting the fragments (base class and extension classes) such that you put as much code and logic as possible in the base class and then used abstract methods to define only the specific behavior where they differ!

This week (Week 5), we are going to cover the last major piece to the Android puzzle and that is using the hardware and SDK components such as the camera, photo gallery, location, maps, etc. After that, Week 6 and week 7 we will be covering a few important intermediate topics such as more about styling and animation as well as testing.
Following the bootcamp, we are going to have a public demo day to celebrate the progress you've all made with our next batch of Android students and multiple companies attending to see the group projects that you all have built. We are going to help however we can over the next few weeks to get the team project apps in shape for that.

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.
