Good job getting all the required stories done along with a few optionals. Consider adding more functionalities to your app so that it can match to the real Twitter app as close as possible.

A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp relatively and correctly externalizing logic to utils class
• Nice to see you used the SwipeRefreshLayout for easy timeline refreshes
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after composing a new tweet
• Nice effort on polishing the UI. Consider separating the User name, User handle and the timestamp into different lines as right now the timestamp gets truncated.
• Consider adding local persistence of tweets by using ActiveAndroid in the Tweet and User. See the persistence guide and this other guide for more details.
• Nice touch with the character count being displayed while the user composes a tweet
• Consider adding additional functionalities like retweet/favorite actions, etc.
