[Android Bootcamp] - Sandra Ngo's Twitter Client

[sandramngo]

Here's my completed Twitter client!

Since I was out of town for 4 days last week, I didn't have as much time as I did for the other projects. I'm working on the persistence of tweets now but I probably won't finish in time for the deadline.

@sandramngo Yeah, this week the homework is actually building on top of the twitter client, so hopefully you'll have more time in this second twitter sprint to add some of those optionals since this is the final required weekly homework (keystone weekly assignment). Review will be coming later tonight.

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

• UI was clean and feels twitter branded
• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly
• Nice to see you used a PullToRefresh library for easy timeline refreshes
• 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 to your app whenever a network request goes out
• Good to see you added ActiveAndroid annotations to the models
• Consider better organizing your source files

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.
