This is the second assignment in the Udacity Android nanodegree. It adds on the first assignment features like supporting different devices layouts and persistent storage.
- Movies are displayed in the main layout via a grid of their corresponding movie poster thumbnails
- UI contains an element (e.g., a spinner or settings menu) to toggle the sort order of the movies by: most popular, highest rated, and favorites
- UI contains a screen for displaying the details for a selected movie
- Movie Details layout contains title, release date, movie poster, vote average, and plot synopsis.
- Movie Details layout contains a section for displaying trailer videos and user reviews
- Tablet UI uses a Master-Detail layout implemented using fragments. The left fragment is for discovering movies. The right fragment displays the movie details view for the currently selected movie.
- When a user changes the sort criteria (most popular, highest rated, and favorites) the main view gets updated correctly.
- When a movie poster thumbnail is selected, the movie details screen is launched [Phone] or displayed in a fragment [Tablet]
- When a trailer is selected, app uses an Intent to launch the trailer
- In the movies detail screen, a user can tap a button(for example, a star) to mark it as a Favorite
- In a background thread, app queries the /discover/movies API with the query parameter for the sort criteria specified in the settings menu. (Note: Each sorting criteria is a different API call.)
- This query can also be used to fetch the related metadata needed for the detail view.
- App requests for related videos for a selected movie via the /movie/{id}/videos endpoint in a background thread and displays those details when the user selects a movie.
- App requests for user reviews for a selected movie via the /movie/{id}/reviews endpoint in a background thread and displays those details when the user selects a movie.
- Movies api is fetched from here
- you have to get your own api and plug it in ApiKey.java here:
public static final String API_KEY = "000";
- App saves a “Favorited” movie to SharedPreferences or a database using the movie’s id.
- When the “favorites” setting option is selected, the main view displays the entire favorites collection based on movie IDs stored in SharedPreferences or a database.
- App persists favorite movie details using a database
- App displays favorite movie details even when offline
- App uses a ContentProvider to populate favorite movie details
- Movie Details View includes an Action Bar item that allows the user to share the first trailer video URL from the list of trailers
- App uses a share Intent to expose the external youtube URL for the trailer
