Flixter is a movies app that shows current movies and their details using the The Movie Database API. It is meant to be an exercise for me to demonstrate basic iOS design layouts and concepts.
Time spent: 24 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is complete:
- User sees an app icon on the home screen and a styled launch screen.
- User can view a list of movies currently playing in theaters from The Movie Database.
- Poster images are loaded using the UIImageView category in the AFNetworking library.
- User sees a loading state while waiting for the movies API.
- User can pull to refresh the movie list.
- User sees an error message when there's a networking error.
- User can tap a tab bar button to view a grid layout of Movie Posters using a CollectionView.
The following optional features are implemented:
- User can tap a poster in the collection view to see a detail screen of that movie
- User can search for a movie.
- All images fade in as they are loading.
- User can view the large movie poster by tapping on a cell.
- For the large poster, load the low resolution image first and then switch to the high resolution image when complete.
- Customize the selection effect of the cell.
- Customize the navigation bar.
- Customize the UI.
- Run your app on a real device.
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- How do we share with other users?
- How do we embed a video?
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
I had a lot of issues with seguing data and refreshing the screen, but troubleshooted them! I also had issues with TableViews, but figured it out.
List an 3rd party libraries, icons, graphics, or other assets you used in your app.
