Rotten Tomates app
This is an iOS 7 demo app displaying box office movies and top rental DVDs using the Rotten Tomatoes API. It is created as part of CodePath course work. (June 10, 2014)
Time spent: approximately 15 hours
- User can view a list of movies. Poster images load asynchronously.
- User can view movie details by tapping on a cell.
- User sees loading state while waiting for the API.
- User sees error message when there is a network error: http://cl.ly/image/1l1L3M460c3C
- User can pull to refresh the movie list.
- All images fade in.
- For the larger poster, load the low-res first and switch to high-res when complete.
- All images should be cached in memory and disk: AppDelegate has an instance of
NSURLCacheandNSURLRequestmakes a request withNSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoadcache policy. I tested it by turning off wifi and restarting the app. - Customize the highlight and selection effect of the cell.
- Customize the navigation bar.
- Add a tab bar for Box Office and DVD.
- Add a search bar: pretty simple implementation of searching against the existing table view data.
- Rotten Tomatoes API
- AFNetworking
- MBProgressHUD for loading indicator
- Icons from IconFinder
- Yellow/dark gray theme is a tribute to Vdio.
