The following optional features are implemented:
- Implements robust error handling, check if internet is available, handle error cases, network failures
- When a network request is sent, user sees an indeterminate progress indicator
The following bonus features are implemented:

List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality:
Automatic retries with infinite scrolling -- a total of 3 retries. Also if the user is offline, the app retries every 10 seconds to re-connect. The User and Tweet objects are Parcelables rather than Serializables.
