App review - Twitter client with fragments

/cc @nesquena

The app is feature complete, please review. Features, screenshots and time spent can be found in the attached README file.

I have tried to incorporate many of the required and options user stories this week except the following: User can view their direct messages (or send new ones)

I wanted to incorporate uploading images and videos in this version, but eclipse gods were not quite forgiving with me this week and I hit some snags along the way.

Thanks for all the links on styling actionbar. Its still not what I had envisioned, but I managed to get it in a decent shape after referring those articles. Still, couldn't get to implementing pagersliding in the given time.

Thanks, Nidhi

:+1: excellent work Nidhi! You consistently do a great job with the submissions. Hope you are proud of what you have been able to accomplish with Android in just ~4 weeks. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Great job skinning the UI with drawables and styles!
• Great work getting ActionBarSherlock setup
• Nice to see you used the SherlockTabListener to properly setup the tabs!
• Good to see you properly communicated the user to the user timeline fragment from the profile activity.
• Nice abstraction for the TweetsListFragment which removes the need for subclasses by relying on an enum.
• Definitely appreciate the little extra details throughout
• There's always ways to improve the styling / experience, one example we discussed is switching to a ViewPager and playing with PagerSlidingTabStrip in replacement of tabs. Might be a good learning exercise.

Here's a detailed Project 4 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 might be able to improve your submission.

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 (May 12th), we are going to have a 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.

Thanks for the feedback Nathan. Definitely feel like the bootcamp has helped tremendously. It would have been hard to have the same focus and drive if I was learning on my own. These assignments have been really really challenging, but fun at the same time. Excited about the group project now. Thanks for your assistance.

Yeah group project is often the best part! Especially seeing it all come together into a polished app. Especially so since it's helping out Alaina and WWC. Look forward to what you all come up with.
