Project 2 - Lates Movie Listings (LML)

LML 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: 12ish hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

  • User can scroll through current movies from the Movie Database API

The following stretch features are implemented:

  • For each movie displayed, user can see the following details:
    • Title, Poster Image, Overview (Portrait mode)
    • Title, Backdrop Image, Overview (Landscape mode)
  • Display a nice default placeholder graphic for each image during loading
  • Allow user to view details of the movie including ratings and popularity release date within a separate activity
  • Improved the user interface by experimenting with styling and coloring.
  • Apply rounded corners for the poster or background images using Glide transformations
  • Apply the popular Butterknife annotation library to reduce boilerplate code.
  • Allow video trailers to be played in full-screen using the YouTubePlayerView from the details screen.

The following additional features are implemented:

  • List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!

Video Walkthrough

Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories (style slightly out of date):

Notes

I ran into issues understanding the loading of images using Glide and several issues where I used "new" when I should have been reusing an instance of a preexisting variable.

Open-source libraries used

  • Android Async HTTP - Simple asynchronous HTTP requests with JSON parsing
  • Glide - Image loading and caching library for Android

Project Feedback!

๐Ÿ‘ Nice work, Camille.

We hope you learned a lot this week with the Flixster app. This is a much more complex app than the initial Todo app as it includes a lot of new concepts. We really appreciate that you completed stretch Stories in addition to the required stories. This is a great way to get the most out of the class. The stretch goals provide a lot of really good learning opportunities.

We have provided a detailed Flixster Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

Hopefully this project has given you a better sense of working with RelativeLayout which is a very flexible layout system, probably one of the most powerful responsive-first layout systems available across web and mobile platforms, and RecyclerView, which is a superior stand-in for the ListView we used in the Todo project. This assignment also gave us our first introduction to networking, working with APIs and loading remote images. The next assignment will introduce new concept such as accepting user input and navigating between activities but will also reinforce important concepts such as networking, using APIs, and handling remote images.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment, feel free to reply here or email us [email protected].
