This app is made as a part of Udacity Android Developer Nanodegree program

This project is just the continuation of Movie-Map

Most of us can relate to kicking back on the couch and enjoying a movie with friends and family. In this project, you’ll build an app to allow users to discover the most popular movies playing. We will split the development of this app in two stages. First, let's talk about stage 1.

• Presenting the user with a grid arrangement of movie posters upon launch.
• Allowing the user to change sort order via a setting:
• The sort order can be by most popular or by highest-rated
• Allowing the user to tap on a movie poster and transition to a details screen with additional information such as:
• original title
• movie poster image thumbnail
• A plot synopsis (called overview in the api)
• user rating (called vote_average in the api)
• release date

• users can view and play trailers (either in the youtube app or a web browser).
• users can read reviews of a selected movie.
• users can mark a movie as a favorite in the details view by tapping a button (star).
• used Android Architecture Components (Room, LiveData, ViewModel and Lifecycle) to create a robust an * efficient application.
• created a database using Room to store the names and ids of the user's favorite movies (and optionally, the rest of the information needed to display their favorites collection while offline).
• modified the existing sorting criteria for the main view to include an additional pivot to show their favorites collection.

• movie recommendations functionality is included

Clone or download the project and run it using Android Studio(>=3.x.x)

• Get an Api-key from themoviedb.org

• Copy your own api key in string.xml(app->src->main->res->values->string.xml)

<resources>
    <string name="api_key">paste your key here</string>
</resources>
