• Popular Movies app for Udacity Android Developer Nanodegree
• This app retrieves data from The Movie DB

Libraries are used in this Project are:

• Appcombat
• RecyclerView
• Preferences
• ViewModel and LiveData
• Butterknife
• Picasso
• Retrofit
• GSON & Converter
• CardView
• RXJAVA

App is written solely in the Java Programming Language. Movies are displayed in the main layout via a grid of their corresponding movie poster thumbnails. UI contains an element (i.e a spinner or settings menu) to toggle the sort order of the movies by: most popular, highest rated. UI contains a screen for displaying the details for a selected movie. Movie details layout contains title, release date, movie poster, vote average, and plot synopsis. App utilizes stable release versions of all libraries, Gradle, and Android Studio.

When a user changes the sort criteria (“most popular and highest rated”) the main view gets updated correctly. When a movie poster thumbnail is selected, the movie details screen is launched.

In a background thread, app queries the /movie/popular or /movie/top_rated API for the sort criteria specified in the settings menu.
