:+1: Great work, appreciate all the efforts that you put in these assignments outside of your full-time job. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Glad to see you properly hooked up each of the different timelines to infinitely paginate.
• Nice to see you played around with styling the sliding tab strip
• Great effort on making the app look twitter branded
• Remember to add an indeterminate progress indicator during background tasks
• For a future exercise, challenge yourself to clean up a bit of your code using inheritance by putting major code in the base class - TweetListFragment and having HomeFragment, MentionsFragment, etc extend from the base class. Currently, all your logic is inside the TweetListFragment, which makes it very confusing to step through. For example, the scroll listener could be set in the base class and then the "onLoadMore" could call an abstract method which is defined separately in the extended class. This approach could be used to move almost all the logic into the base except for certain key abstract methods.

Here's a detailed Project 4 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 might be able to improve your submission.

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.
