Android Bootcamp project 1

hi my app is ready for review. /cc @codepathreview @codepath.

Here are my questions:

1. I have set the imageView width in the InstagramPhotoAdapter before loading the image from Picasso. Is that correct? I have tried 3 approaches and this one seemed smoother. I have read on stack overflow that messing with the imageView directly is not recommended if we use Picasso.
2. What further optimization can be done to reduce image loading time. I have seen my app has more lag than the official Instagram app. Is there some kind of cache to be maintained or preloading the images before they are visible ?

:+1: Good work getting all required stories done. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good layout, proper view naming, usage of sp/dp, margin and relative placement rules
• Good job on a polished UI
• Nice to see you used the SwipeRefreshLayout for easy stream refreshes
• Good job using the ViewHolder pattern to improve performance of photos in ListView.
• Consider better organizing your source files
• Consider including a check to see if internet is available to detect any network failures. Show an appropriate message in case of failure.

We have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.
