About

This project was developed as part of the Udacity Associate Android Developer Fast Track nanodegree. The app displays popular and best rated movies obtained from The Movie DB through its RESTful API. Intructions on how to setup the a api key can be found below

After the project was submitted and graded by Udacity it is used as a learning project where new techniques are continually included. The extra techniques and libraries included so far are:

Other libraries and techniques will be incorporated such as Kotlin and RxJava.

The movie db api key

In order to use the app it is necessary to obtain an api key from the movie db API.

After getting an api key set it up in the development environment so that Gradle can load it into the project:

  • create a file named api.properties under /app directory
  • include a value for the movie database api key in the format: movie_db_api_key="your api key goes here"
  • replace the text "your api key goes here" with your api key
