:+1: Great work overall! Good job getting all the required stories done correctly along with a few extras. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Consider better organizing your packages
• Good job formatting the relative time stamp (externalize the logic into Utils class)
• Nice to see you used the SwipeRefreshLayout for easy timeline refreshes
• Nice touch adding the TextWatcher for counting characters
• Good to see you added ActiveAndroid annotations to the models for offline usage
• Consider using the ProgressBar indicating network requests
• Consider adding null checks in JSON parsing for robust error handling
• Consider using Parcelable over Serializable for model objects
• Consider adding detailed tweet page in the next assignment.

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.
