Flix is an app that allows users to browse movies from the The Movie Database API.
- (5pts) User can tap a cell to see more details about a particular movie.
- (5pts) User can tap a tab bar button to view a grid layout of Movie Posters using a CollectionView.
- (2pts) User can tap a poster in the collection view to see a detail screen of that movie.
- (2pts) In the detail view, when the user taps the poster, a new screen is presented modally where they can view the trailer.
The main challenge was creating the grid layout and having them large enough to fit the screen but not too large to take over the entire screen.
- (2pts) User sees an app icon on the home screen and a styled launch screen.
- (5pts) User can view and scroll through a list of movies now playing in theaters.
- (3pts) User can view the movie poster image for each movie.
- (2pt) User can view the app on various device sizes and orientations.
- (1pt) Run your app on a real device.
The main challenge was making the API call to the movie db since I forgot to add the "s" in "https". Additionally, creating the movie view controller cocoa touch class was bugging out so that cost me a little extra time. All in all, I'm happy with the turnout of this app and learned a lot! I'm especially happy with the view constraints I added in to make sure it works with all devices.
