Codepath project No 3 lets goooooo

Android Project 3 - We have Flixter at Home

Submitted by: Angel L Garcia

Flixter is a movie browsing app that allows users to browse movies currently playing in theaters.

Time spent: 10 hours spent in total

Required Features

The following required functionality is completed:

• [ x ] Make a request to The Movie Database API's now_playing endpoint to get a list of current movies
• [ x ] Parse through JSON data and implement a RecyclerView to display all movies
• [ x ] Use Glide to load and display movie poster images

The following optional features are implemented:

• [ x ] Improve and customize the user interface through styling and coloring
• Implement orientation responsivity
  • App should neatly arrange data in both landscape and portrait mode
• [ x ] Implement Glide to display placeholder graphics during loading
  • Note: this feature is difficult to capture in a GIF without throttling internet speeds. Instead, include an additional screencap of your Glide code implementing the feature. (<10 lines of code)

The following additional features are implemented:

• [ x ] Custom Icon
• [ x ] Extra view
• [ x ] Search Bar (currently not fully implemented, its 2am I'm tired)

Possible ones

• Trailers for popular movies are played automatically when the movie is selected (1 point).
  • When clicking on a popular movie (i.e. a movie voted for more than 5 stars) the video should be played immediately.
  • Less popular videos rely on the detailed page should show an image preview that can initiate playing a YouTube video.
• Add a play icon overlay to popular movies to indicate that the movie can be played (1 point).
• Show if the movie is currently in theaters or on what streaming services
