Popular Movies is one of the projects I made from scratch for Udacity's Associate Android Developer Fast Track course supported by Google. The app uses core Android UI components and fetches movie details using themoviedb.org free API.
- See a grid of the most popular or the highest rated movies,
- Read reviews,
- Store and view selected movies' details offline,
- Watch and share trailers,
- Seamlessly update movies in background thread.
You need to enter your own API key for The Movie Database API in order to fetch the movies. Do steps as described below to run the app.
- Copy the project
- Get your own API key from https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api .
- In
app/src/main/res/valuescreate new resource file with namemovie_db_api.xml. - Use
movie_db_api.xml.exampleto paste contents of the newly created file - Uncomment line with key
- Enter your key instead of
PutYourKeyHere - Run the app! 👍
