It seems to be some missing text in the extra credit in the Build a Blog Reader Android Project. In Stage 4 (Adapting Data for Display in a List) the third extra credit says: "If you're feeling really brave, " and then nothing more. I'm curious to what this extra brave thing is :)

Treehouse TeacherSorry about that! The sad thing is, I don't have a backup of what that was, and I wrote it a long time ago. I'm trying to locate a specific backup, but in the mean time I've edited as such:
"If you're feeling really brave, create an ArrayList of
SearchResultobjects instead of HashMaps. Then create a custom adapter to adapt eachSearchResultas an individual item in the list. There are some good tutorials, examples, and tips on custom list adapters in this Treehouse Forum thread."
I think that's what I was after at the time. :)

7,553 PointsThanks for the update!
This is a fun challenge, and something I tried to do. I made a SearchResult (model) object which stored the content, url and title of the JSON response from google. I got stuck on the displaying this in a custom adapter, but I'll have to look into the forum thread you mentioned :)
Looking forward to the android project which is coming in January. Feels like iOS is getting most of the attention/content, hopfully we'll se more android content in the future.
Cheers

Treehouse TeacherYes sir, Android content is back in full throttle mode. I can't wait to start releasing Android stuff on a regular basis again (starting next month).
