Project 1 - Flicks Movie

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

Time spent: 8 hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

  • User can view a list of movies currently playing in theaters. Poster images load asynchronously.
  • User can view movie details by tapping on a cell.
  • User sees loading state while waiting for the API.
  • User sees an error message when there is a network error.
  • User can pull to refresh the movie list.

The following optional features are implemented:

  • Add a tab bar for Now Playing and Top Rated movies.
  • Implement segmented control to switch between list view and grid view.
  • Add a search bar.
  • All images fade in.
  • For the large poster, load the low-res image first, switch to high-res when complete.
  • Customize the highlight and selection effect of the cell.
  • Customize the navigation bar.

The following additional features are implemented:

  • Activity Indicator used when user searches in the search bar
  • Animate showing/hiding the bottom navigation bar and UILabel depending on the scroll view's state (e.g. begin dragging) in the MovieDetailViewController

Notes

  • I originally created two UIViewController classes for listing movies of Now Playing and Top Rated, but I noticed that more than 98% of the code is identical:

    To keep the code less redundant, I decided to do a huge refactoring - creating a generic MovieListViewController class that can be used for both Now Playing and Top Rated. It turned out to be a very nice design - saving me an entire class of code (approximately 200 LOC!)

  • I created a custom tab bar controller that is added as the RootViewController to the key window, which is a nice adventure that works very well 🎉
