Udacity Android Nanodegree Project 2

Author: Kevin Thomas

Description

Done as part of Udacity's Android Nanodegree, this app uses an API provided by The Movie Database (TMDb) to get movie info. It displays a grid of movie posters sorted by either popularity or vote count, depending on the user's selection. When the user clicks on a movie poster, a more detailed view of the movie is displayed showing the movie's title, release year, rating, and plot synopsis. It's tablet friendly, and shows trailers and reviews for the movies.

Running the app yourself

You'll need to download Android Studio or some other IDE and clone this repository from your version control system. You'll also need to create an API key from The Movie Database to run the code. Once you have your key, edit the gradle.properties file in the project folder and add your key with quotes like so: TMDBApiKey = "apikeyhere". As a word of caution, never upload API keys from any site to a public repository like GitHub.
