[Android Bootcamp] Ready for Review (Week 4) about dwitter HOT 1 OPEN

Decent submission but try to add more optional features if you get time. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Correctly communicated between Fragment and Activity for User Profile
• Nice to see you used the ViewPager to properly setup the tabs!
• For the sliding tabs, try styling the tabs to customize their appearance.
• Consider adding local persistence of tweets by using ActiveAndroid in the model objects. See the persistence guide and this other guide for more details.
• Nicely done architecting the fragments (base class and extension classes) such that you put as much code and logic as possible in the base class and then used abstract methods to define only the specific behavior where they differ.
• In the future, definitely consider additional polish for the UI by reviewing the cloning a screen tutorial and Q&A and the drawables guide
• Try to implement more optional features so that you will get to play with more widgets and understand complexities involved

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.
