This is an Android demo application for displaying the latest box office movies using the RottenTomatoes API. See the RottenTomatoes Networking Tutorial on our cliffnotes for a step-by-step tutorial.
Time spent: 5 hours spent in total
Completed user stories:
- Required: User can view a list of latest box office movies including title, cast and tomatoes rating
- Required: User can click on a movie in the list to bring up a details page with additional information such as synopsis
- Optional: Placeholder image is used for movie posters loaded in from the network
Notes:
Spent some time making the UI work across multiple phone resolutions by playing around with the RelativeLayout.
