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

Time spent: 10 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:

• Code refactoring to consolidate codepath for search & now_playing/top_rated. The code looks nice and easy to reason
• Extracted Utility class to hold constants and contain image fetching
