For homework 1, there is no search box needed. The user doesn't input anything at this point (download the Reuter's app: note that the user doesn't need to input anything). The only parameter you need to add to the url supplied is your api key (that's put in by the developer, for now just declare it as a constant in your NetworkUtils class, later we'll look for a more secure place to put it).

Use Uri.Builder to build the url as we did in class. You should be able to figure out what other things are parameters (make constants for them), and what the base url is (make a constant for that too). 

To display the content, the user will just select the search menu item.
