Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
- Android Async HTTP - Simple asynchronous HTTP requests with JSON parsing
- Glide - Image loading and caching library for Android
Flickster shows the latest movies currently playing in theaters. The app utilizes the Movie Database API to display images and basic information about these movies to the user.
Time spent: 3* hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
-
User can view a list of movies (title, poster image, and overview) currently playing in theaters from the Movie Database API.
-
Views should be responsive for both landscape/portrait mode. * [X] In portrait mode, the poster image, title, and movie overview is shown. * [X] In landscape mode, the rotated alternate layout should use the backdrop image instead and show the title and movie overview to the right of it.
The following optional features are implemented:
- Display a nice default placeholder graphic for each image during loading
- Improved the user interface by experimenting with styling and coloring.
- For popular movies (i.e. a movie voted for more than 5 stars), the full backdrop image is displayed. Otherwise, a poster image, the movie title, and overview is listed. Use Heterogenous RecyclerViews and use different ViewHolder layout files for popular movies and less popular ones.
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
I encountered an initial error with my relative view not being named rvmovies. This feature was missing in the walkthrough video. My next issue was that I had a space in my image url, which didn't allow the images to load. I think that should be expected.
