RottenTomatoes App
This is an iOS demo application for displaying the latest box office movies using the RottenTomatoes API. See the RottenTomatoes Networking Tutorial on our cliffnotes for a step-by-step tutorial.
Time spent: 14 hours spent in total
Completed user stories:
Required:
- User can view a list of movies from Rotten Tomatoes. Poster images must be loading asynchronously.
- User can view movie details by tapping on a cell
- User sees loading state while waiting for movies API. You can use one of the 3rd party libraries here.
- User sees error message when there's a networking error. You may not use UIAlertView to display the error. See this screenshot for what the error message should look like: network error screenshot.
- User can pull to refresh the movie list.
Optional:
- All images fade in.
- For the large poster, load the low-res image first, switch to high-res when complete.
- All images should be cached in memory and disk. In other words, images load immediately upon cold start.
- Customize the highlight and selection effect of the cell.
- Add a tab bar for Box Office and DVD.
- Add a search bar.
Notes:
Spent some time working on cleaning up my code base and mixing things between programtic UI and XIB UI.
