An Android TV project that uses The Movie Database to list movies on TV. Just another educational project for learning purposes.
Since this project consumes The Movie DB API you need to create an account (if you don't already have one) and get your API key. Checkout the docs for this step.
Once you have your API key, you should add it to your environment variables. To do so you need to add this line:
export TMDB_KEY=<your_api_key>inside your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc if you use MacOS, or inside /etc/profile if you use Linux.
if you use Windows you can configure this in the Control Panel of the operating system or you can run on terminal:
setx -m TMDB_KEY <your_api_key>After this step restart your terminal and if Android Studio is running you need to restart it too so the new variables are indexed and identified.
To run this app you need to setup an Android TV device (virtual or physical). This is almost the same configurations as smartphone apps, using ADB. Checkout the docs.
