This was my first experience with Android development. This application was developed in a group project for the class of Programing for Mobile Devices at ISEL.
The application consists of a movie database that lets it's users:
- Search movies my name;
- Visualize movies currently airing in theaters;
- Visualize upcoming movies;
- Visualize popular movies;
- Visualize movie details;
- Follow/Unfollow an upcoming movie and be notified when it airs;
- Visualize currently followed movies;
- Use funcionalities in offline mode.
Sources of data
The source of data chosen for this project was The Movie Database, since it's free and provides up-to-date information trough a REST API: API Documentation.
