Project 2 - Flix

Flix is a movies app using the The Movie Database API.

Time spent: 14 hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is complete:

  • User sees app icon in home screen and styled launch screen
  • 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.
  • User can view the large movie poster by tapping on a cell.
  • For the large poster, load the low resolution image first and then switch to the high resolution image when complete.
  • Customize the selection effect of the cell.
  • Customize the navigation bar.
  • Customize the UI.

The following additional features are implemented:

  • List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!

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):

  1. I'd like to improve the UI and be able to customize it more and make it look better
  2. It would be nice to implement infinite scrolling and be able to access more movie data to increase the number of movies the user can look through

Notes

Implementing the collection view was difficult, along with the search bar, because I was reading through instructions that weren't specific to implementing the functions in the app I was actually making, but continuously tweaking things and eventually figuring it out helped me get a lot more comfortable with Swift and iOS development and start to understand more fully what I was doing

Project Feedback!

๐Ÿ‘ Nice work! The point of this homework was to get a chance to implement a TableView (one of the most common views in iOS) and to work with real data over the network (in this case from the Movies Database API).

A key part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide the most learning opportunities. We encourage you to complete the projects early each week with the required stories and then spend time adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional extensions that will improve the user experience.

We have a detailed Project 2 Feedback Guide which covers the best practices for implementing this assignment. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine ways you might be able to improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing these improvements as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of iOS development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment or the feedback, feel free to reply here or email us at [email protected].
