Project 3: Twitter Client App - Ready For Review

[Oneill38]

@codepath @codepathreview my second app for Android Bootcamp is ready for review.

One of the biggest issues I'm having is finding good documentation/help with theming/styling apps.

@Oneill38 Pls take a look at this guide - https://guides.codepath.com/android/Styles-and-Themes. This also has links to many other resources. Hope this is helpful and let us know if you have any more questions

👍 nice work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good to see you were able to format the timestamp cleanly
• Good to see you refreshed the timeline after composing a new tweet
• Nice to see you used a SwipeRefreshLayout library for easy timeline refreshes
• Glad to see you made the compose activity into a dialog instead
• Consider using the ViewHolder pattern to improve performance of ListView.
• Consider adding progress bars to your app whenever a network request goes out
• Consider adding ActiveAndroid to the Tweet and User. See the persistence guide and this other guide for more details.
• 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.
