[Android Bootcamp] Week 2 Assignment

[stridera]

Another Week, another assignment complete.

I should have listened to you guys and not used the new Google Custom Search Engine, but I was really hoping there was a way to do reverse image search. (I was looking forward to taking an image from the camera and finding similar images.) I found other API's that could do it (Tineye, for one) but didn't have the time to include it and it would no longer be a "Google" image search.

Still, I think it turned out pretty well.

:+1: Excellent work on going beyond and adding additional user stories!!! A few notes after checking out the code:

• Great work on packaging the code correctly
• Consider using Parcelable instead of Serializable (benefits)
• Good job using the ConnectivityManager to check for network availability and notifying user about failure
• Consider creating a static method in a Helper/Utility class for common methods such as checking for internet
• Great job implementing SettingsDialog for filters.
• Good job using StaggeredGridView and TouchImageView for enhancing UI/UX
• Good to see you added Search using the action bar and correctly implemented sharing
• Good to see JSON deserializing logic in the model object. (Consider adding null checks)

Also, here's a more detailed Project 2 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 could improve your submission.

Let us know if you have any other thoughts or questions about this assignment. The next assignment (Twitter Client) will be especially important since it introduces the majority of the remaining pieces necessary to build a fully functional API client with complex feeds of data and user creation.
