:+1: nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after composing a new tweet
• Nice touch with the character count being displayed while the user composes a tweet
• Consider adding [progress bars] (http://guides.codepath.com/android/Handling-ProgressBars#actionbar-progress-bar) to your app whenever a network request goes out
• Consider working more to UI to make it polished

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. /cc @codepathreview

:+1: Nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• 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
• Good to see you properly communicated the user to the user timeline fragment from the profile activity.
• Nice to see you used the ViewPager to properly setup the tabs
• Consider adding progress bars to your app whenever a network request goes out
• Try to implement more optional features so that you will get to play with more widgets and understand complexities involved
• Considering this is 4th assignment and extension of last week's assignment, more efforts in UI polish would have been good.

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.
