Instructions

Please read this entire README to make sure you understand what is expected of you before you begin.

This sprint challenge is designed to ensure that you are competent with the concepts taught throughout Sprint 4.

In your solution, it is especially important that you follow best practices such as MVC and good, consistent code style. You will be scored on these aspects as well as the project MVP (minimum viable product) requirements below.

Fork this repository and clone your fork to your computer. Create your Android Studio project in this cloned fork repository folder, then commit and create a pull request. Commit appropriately as you work. When finished, push your final project to GitHub and comment on the pull requestto indicate that your project is complete.

You have 3 hours, and you should work independently — looking things up (search, notes) is all fair game. And questions about process / logistics (i.e. if you have a hard time opening/saving to GitHub) are fair game too.

Good luck!

Screen Recording

This screen recording previews the look and feel of a completed project that meets the MVP requirements for this project.

Requirements

This project uses The Movie DB API. The starter project has search functionality working for you already, as that isn't the point of this Sprint Challenge. There is no need to reference the API's documentation whatsoever.

The requirements for this project are as follows:

1. A FavoriteMovie POJO object. Its members will be used to store favorite movies in your SQL database and allow users to add movies to their favorites and mark them as watched.

   This will be your only local storage of movies, so you'll want to include anything you wish to display to the user like the title

2. A MainActivity that allows a user to:

   1. Enter a search parameter and pass it to MovieApiDao.searchMovies and view a list of results (this must be done in a separate thread).

   2. Select movies for favorites (store these in SQL db)

   3. Navigate to the favorites page

3. A FavoritesActivity that allows a user to:

   1. View a list of saved movies from the SQLite db

   2. Mark individual movies as watched or not

   3. Remove movies from the favorites list

4. All of the background classes we've worked with this week to facilitate database interactions.
