_shows's Issues

Project Feedback!

👍 Excellent work! You've made an app with 📱📱 multiple screens

The goal of this unit was to learn about Intents, which pass information and bundled data between different screens. To complete this project, you added a details page to your Flixster+ app, and customized what data you fetched from the API! Whew! 😅

If you're curious about ways to improve your code, try diving into the Ribot Android Code Guidelines and pay attention to the naming conventions and file organization.

If you haven't already, we also encourage you to try out the Stretch Features for the project. While we won't be reviewing further revisions to this unit's submission at this point, you should consider going back and implementing these improvements as well.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment in general or on any of the feedback, feel free to post on the Slack channel.

If you have any technical questions about the project or concepts covered this week, we encourage you to post a question on the course Slack channel! For general questions around grading scores email us at, [email protected].
