Processing the Twitter request.

void ProcessRestJsonLINQHttpResponse(IAsyncResult iar)
{
	System.Collections.Generic.List<Tweet> twt = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Tweet>();
    try
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)iar.AsyncState;
        HttpWebResponse response;
        response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(iar);
        System.IO.StreamReader strm = new System.IO.StreamReader(
            response.GetResponseStream());

		var jsResults = System.Json.JsonArray.Load(strm)["results"];
		for(int i = 0; i < jsResults.Count; i++)
		{
			twt.Add(new Tweet(){ Status = jsResults[i]["text"].ToString(),
				StatusDate = jsResults[i]["created_at"].ToString(),
				StatusId = jsResults[i]["id"].ToString(),
				ProfileImage = jsResults[i]["profile_image_url"].ToString().Replace("\"", String.Empty) });
		}

        //this.RunOnUiThread(() => {tv.Text = Convert.ToString("records: " + twt.Count.ToString();}));
        Android.Util.Log.Debug("http response", "finished");


        //Find the listview reference
        var listView = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.listView);

        //Create our adapter
        this.RunOnUiThread(() =>
        {
            listAdapter = new CustomListAdapter(this, twt);

            //Hook up our adapter to our ListView
            listView.Adapter = listAdapter;
