In this section, you’ll test-drive the Twitter Searches app. Open the Android Developer Tools IDE and import the Twitter Searches app project. As you did in Chapter 3, launch the Nexus 4 AVD—or connect your Android device to the computer—so that you can test the app. The screen captures we show in this chapter were taken on a Nexus 4 phone.
