Stage 1
- Movies are displayed in the main layout via a grid of their corresponding movie poster thumbnails.
- UI contains an element (i.e a spinner or settings menu) to toggle the sort order of the movies by: most popular, highest rated.
- When a user changes the sort criteria (“most popular and highest rated”) the main view gets updated correctly.
- UI contains a screen for displaying the details for a selected movie.
- When a movie poster thumbnail is selected, the movie details screen is launched.
- Movie details layout contains title, release date, movie poster, vote average, and plot synopsis.
- In a background thread, app queries the /movie/popular or /movie/top_rated API for the sort criteria specified in the settings menu.
Stage 2
- Movie Details layout contains a section for displaying trailer videos and user reviews.
- Tablet UI uses a Master-Detail layout implemented using fragments. The left fragment is for discovering movies. The right fragment displays the movie details view for the currently selected movie.
- When a trailer is selected, app uses an Intent to launch the trailer.
- In the movies detail screen, a user can tap a button(for example, a star) to mark it as a Favorite.
- App requests for related videos for a selected movie via the /movie/{id}/videos endpoint in a background thread and displays those details when the user selects a movie.
- App requests for user reviews for a selected movie via the /movie/{id}/reviews endpoint in a background thread and displays those details when the user selects a movie.
- App saves a "Favorited" movie to SharedPreferences or a database using the movie’s id.
- When the "favorites" setting option is selected, the main view displays the entire favorites collection based on movie IDs stored in SharedPreferences or a database.
