Project Overview

Welcome back to Popular Movies! In this second and final stage, you’ll add additional functionality to the app you built in Stage 1.

• You’ll add more information to your movie details view:

• You’ll allow users to view and play trailers ( either in the youtube app or a web browser).

• You’ll allow users to read reviews of a selected movie.

• You’ll also allow users to mark a movie as a favorite in the details view by tapping a button(star). This is for a local movies collection that you will maintain and does not require an API request*.

• You’ll modify the existing sorting criteria for the main view to include an additional pivot to show their favorites collection.

• Lastly, you’ll optimize your app experience for tablet.

Recall from Stage 1, you built a UI that presented the user with a grid of movie posters, allowed users to change sort order, and presented a screen with additional information on the movie selected by the user:

In Stage 2, you will go one step further and allow the user to view movie trailers, read reviews, and select favorites.

Lastly, you will take the entire end-to end-user interaction flow, including what you built in Stage 1, and optimize it to work on tablets.

What Will I Learn After Stage 2?

• You will build a fully featured application that looks and feels natural on the latest Android operating system (Lollipop, as of May 2015).
• You will optimize the UI experience for both phones and tablets.
