Movies Follower is an app that lets you discover movies and tv shows using the moviesdb API.

  • You can view movies or tv shows with their rating, genres, release date and how many people voted for them.
  • You can search for movies/tvShows by typing the name and seeing the results instantly.
  • You can discover movies/tvShows by their genres.
  • You can use the Filter Tool to control your search in a flexible way.
  • You can store your favorite movies/tvShows in a local database and view them whenever you want.
  • You can swipe to delete your favorite movies/tvShows, and you can undo that delete as well.
  • You can watch trailers and videos on the movie/tvShow page.

I used

For the UI -

  • Activities (I used exactly four activities, one activity for filter page, another one for the movie/tvShow page, another one for the search page, and a main activity)
  • Layouts (Constraints layouts, Relative Layouts, Linear Layouts, AppBarLayout, CollapsingToolbarLayout)
  • Fragments
  • RecyclerViews
  • Bottom Navigation View

Things I know I should improve or include in the future

  • Start using Fragment factory, and get rid of the methods I declared inside of my fragments in order to pass arguments such as setAction and setQueries that are inside of SearchTvFrament..etc.
  • Start using Dagger2 for dependency injection.
  • Add the feature where the app loads more data when getting to the end of the recycler view.
  • Fix the swipe-to-delete bug. The problem is, I can't delete two items at the same time, I must wait until the snackbar disappears, if I don't, the last deleted item will appear again.
  • Add unit and UI tests for the app (I only used Firebase test lab).
