Flix is an app that allows users to browse movies from the The Movie Database API.
- User can view a list of movies (title, poster image, and overview) currently playing in theaters from the Movie Database API.
- (2pts) Views should be responsive for both landscape/portrait mode.
- (1pt) In portrait mode, the poster image, title, and movie overview is shown.
- (1pt) In landscape mode, the rotated alternate layout should use the backdrop image instead and show the title and movie overview to the right of it.
- (2pts) Display a nice default placeholder graphic for each image during loading
- Improved the user interface by experimenting with styling and coloring.
- (8pts) Expose details of movie (ratings using RatingBar, popularity, and synopsis) in a separate activity.
- (2pts) Allow video posts to be played in full-screen using the YouTubePlayerView.
- Trailers for popular movies are played automatically when the movie is selected (1 point).
- When clicking on a popular movie (i.e. a movie voted for more than 5 stars) the video should be played immediately.
- Less popular videos rely on the detailed page should show an image preview that can initiate playing a YouTube video.
- Apply the popular ButterKnife annotation library to reduce view boilerplate. (1 point) TODO
- Add a rounded corners for the images using the Glide transformations. (1 point)

First pass,
below see current build.
I had a great deal of trouble with the [Android Async HTTP] and Glide at first but now i understand at least the basics of their use. Mainly my issues stemmed from not using the debugger to step through large issues
edit : by far the hardest thing was adding genre information
- Android Async HTTP - Simple asynchronous HTTP requests with JSON parsing
- Glide - Image loading and caching library for Androids
