Flicks is an android app that displays the list of movies currently running in cinemas.
Submitted by: Sharath C
Time spent: 8 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.
- Lists should be fully optimized for performance with the ViewHolder pattern.
- Views should be responsive for both landscape/portrait mode.
The following optional features are implemented:
- Add pull-to-refresh for popular stream with SwipeRefreshLayout
- Display a nice default placeholder graphic for each image during loading (read more about Picasso)
- 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 ListViews and use different ViewHolder layout files for popular movies and less popular ones.
- Expose details of movie (ratings using RatingBar, popularity, and synopsis) in a separate activity.
- Add a play icon overlay to popular movies to indicate that the movie can be played
- Leverage the data binding support module to bind data into main and detail activities.
- Improve the user interface through styling and coloring.
- Add a rounded corners for the images using the Picasso transformations.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
