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

• Great work on organizing source code.
• Nice to see you use action bar for searching
• Good job on getting the Share functionality working
• Great job implementing FilterDialogFragment for filters.
• Good job using the ConnectivityManager to check for network availability
• Great job using staggered grid view for polishing the app UI.
• Properly reused the single base method in search activity to fetch results for both initial load and the pagination
• Consider using Parcelable instead of Serializable(benefits)

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.
