Show the most popular movies and search movies via the Trakt.tv API

movie-list

The project is about to work with the Trakt.tv API and give the users two opportunities.

1. When the user starts the app, he will see a list with the 10 most popular movies and by scrolling down a new request will be executed to show the next ten movies.
2. The User can switch via Tabs between showing the 10 most popular movies and searching movies. The search will be executed automatically while typing the searchterm. Also it should be scrollable via pagination.
