Project Feedback!

[codepathreview]

👍 Excellent Job. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Properly reused the single base method in search activity to fetch results for both initial load and the pagination
• Nice to see you added the search box to the ActionBar!
• Properly used spinners (with populated values) or checkboxes to allow users to select filters
• Nice job adding the share intent to the article detail view!
• Good to see you used a filters object to represent the filters to apply to the query
• Nice to see you implement robust error handling, check if internet is available, handle error cases, network failures
• Nice work setting up shared preferences to persist the settings between activities
• Properly sent and received relevant filters using a bundle to pass data between activities
• Consider trying out the RecyclerView, the successor to the ListView and GridView.
• Try out the data binding support module to automatically bind data into activity layout templates.
