Appcelerator loves Movies! So we built this cross platform application to showcase just how good movies can look on a mobile app.

Movies

To learn more about how we built Movies, the decisions behind the code and to have your questions answered, join us on Thursday March 12 at 9am PST / 4pm GMT: http://www.crowdcast.io/e/appceleratorcrowdcast1

Movies is an internal app we built to demonstrate how with Appcelerator you can use JavaScript to deliver beautiful, high-performance native apps entirely indistinguishable from those built in Java or Objective-C (or Swift).

Quick Start

The below instructions assume you already have successfully installed Titanium/Appcelerator Studio and Command Line Tools. If you have not installed Appcelerator toolchain, please review the documentation here:

Installation and Configuration

Now, if everything is setup correctly lets get you started with the Movies app.

Importing and building using Titanium / Appcelerator Studio

• Open Titanium/Appcelerator Studio
• From the menu bar select File -> Import... and the Import dialog box will open
• In the Import* dialog, expand the Git folder and select Git Repository as New Project and click Next
• The Source Repository dialog is now open. Click on the URI radio button and in the text field type or paste [email protected]:appcelerator/movies.git
• Click Finish

Now, the Movies app will be pulled down from source control and setup into your Studio workspace.

To build the application:

• Select your target from the dropdown and click Run

Importing and building from Command Line

• cd into the directory you would like to host the movies app

$> cd ~/MY_PARENT_FOLDER

• clone the this git repository

$> git clone [email protected]:appcelerator/movies.git

• cd to the movies app directory

$> cd ~/MY_PARENT_FOLDER/movies

• Build the application for either iOS or Andrdoid
