Flicks is a movies app using the The Movie Database API.
Time spent: 10 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is complete:
- 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.
The following optional features are implemented:
- User sees an error message when there's a networking error.
- Movies are displayed using a CollectionView instead of a TableView.
- User can search for a movie.
- All images fade in as they are loading.
- Customize the UI.
The following additional features are implemented:
- Switch to and back from Collection to TableView
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):
- Why should we use view instead of UIAlertController to show network error?
- Right now everytime the user restart the app require to download all the data again, how would we store the data in local so that they don't need to download the same data again and again?
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
- Most of the develop time spent on waiting for compile.
- Since I cannot simulate on my computer, the video walkthrough cannot include network lost
- Right now the table view and the collection view are not sharing data.
