Features
Required
- User can view a list of movies. Poster images load asynchronously.
- User can view movie details by tapping on a cell.
- User sees loading state while waiting for the API.
- User sees error message when there is a network error: http://cl.ly/image/1l1L3M460c3C
- User can pull to refresh the movie list.
Optional
- All images fade in.
- For the larger poster, load the low-res first and switch to high-res when complete. [NOTE: I'm not 100% sure how to do this, but I managed to do this by just calling setImageWithURL 2x... :/]
- All images should be cached in memory and disk: AppDelegate has an instance of
NSURLCacheandNSURLRequestmakes a request withNSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoadcache policy. I tested it by turning off wifi and restarting the app. - Customize the highlight and selection effect of the cell.
- Customize the navigation bar.
- Add a tab bar for Box Office and DVD. [NOTE: Still missing custom icons]
- Add a search bar: pretty simple implementation of searching against the existing table view data.
