Flix is an app that allows users to browse movies from the The Movie Database API.
- (5pts) User can tap a cell to see more details about a particular movie.
- (5pts) User can tap a tab bar button to view a grid layout of Movie Posters using a CollectionView.
- (2pts) User can tap a poster in the collection view to see a detail screen of that movie.
- (2pts) In the detail view, when the user taps the poster, a new screen is presented modally where they can view the trailer.
It was difficult making sure that the collection view sizes were shown properly. I was able to look for a function from the documentation that allows setting the collection view cell sizes such that they showed properly instead of being really small.
- (2pts) User sees an app icon on the home screen and a styled launch screen.
- (5pts) User can view and scroll through a list of movies now playing in theaters.
- (3pts) User can view the movie poster image for each movie.
- (2pt) User can view the app on various device sizes and orientations.
- (1pt) Run your app on a real device.
It was hard to wrap my head around the different aspects and view controllers of a tableview because different items are in different places. Also getting the row height to be proper required some extra handling as well but I was able to complete it in the end.
Flix is a movies app displaying box office and top rental DVDs using The Movie Database API.
