Add some UI which displays a new view controller showing a UICollectionView of the first image (or all the images if you want) in all the Tweets that match the search. When a user clicks on an image in this UICollectionView, segue to showing them the Tweet.


Let’s start with the storyboard:

• Add a collection view controller.
• Add a segue from the tweet table view controller to the new controller (note: from the controller itself not from one of its elements or table cells) and name the segue.
• Add a button to the right side of the navigation bar and link it to the unwind method from extra task #3
• Add a reuse identifier for the collection view cell.
• Add an image view to the cell (including autolayout constraints).
• Add an activity indicator on top (including constraints)
• Finally add a segue from the cell back to the tweets table view controller and name it.

Make the “most recent searches” table be editable (i.e. let the user swipe left to delete the ones they don’t like).

We need a new method for our model/data source to be able to delete an entry from the user defaults:

    func removeAtIndex(index: Int) {
        var currentSearches = values
        currentSearches.removeAtIndex(index)
        values = currentSearches
    }

… and use it before removing the line from the table:

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        if editingStyle == .Delete {
            RecentSearches().removeAtIndex(indexPath.row)
            tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
        }
    }

The complete code for extra task #5 is available on GitHub.

Instead of opening urls in Safari, display them in your application by segueing to a controller with a UIWebView. You’ll have to provide at least a little bit of “browser control” UI to go along with it (e.g. a “back button”).

Add a new view controller to the storyboard. Add a egue from the mentions table view controller to the new controller (be careful, not from a cell, but from the controller itself!). Add a web view, an activity indicator and a back button (don’t forget constraints for autolayout):

If you segue using Show (rather than Unwind), add some UI which will Unwind all the way back to the rootViewController of the UINavigationController. Even if you use Unwind (rather than Show), then if do the Collection View extra credit below using a Show segue, you might want the “unwind to root” behavior in scenes you segue to via the Collection View.

In both “root” view controllers (the tweet table view controller and the recent-searches table view controller) of the tab view controller add an unwind function as destination for the unwinding:

    @IBAction func unwindToRoot(sender: UIStoryboardSegue) { }
