# Popular Movies, Stage 2
## Project Overview
Most of us can relate to kicking back on the couch and enjoying
a movie with friends and family. In this project, you’ll build an app
to allow users to discover the most popular movies playing.
This app uses the API from [themoviedb.org](https://www.themoviedb.org/)
## API Key Note
**Define key in build.gradle**
Find a file named `gradle.properties` in `.gradle` folder in your home directory.
Add `PopularMoviesApp_ApiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY"` to that file.

## Why this Project
To become an Android developer, you must know how to bring particular
mobile experiences to life. Specifically, you need to know how to build
clean and compelling user interfaces (UIs), fetch data from network services,
and optimize the experience for various mobile devices. You will hone these
fundamental skills in this project.
By building this app, you will demonstrate your understanding of the
foundational elements of programming for Android. Your app will communicate with
the Internet and provide a responsive and delightful user experience.
## What I learned
- Fetch data from the Internet with theMovieDB API
- Use adapters and custom list layouts to populate list views
- Incorporate libraries to simplify the amount of code you need to write
- Build a fully featured application that looks and feels natural on the latest Android operating system.

* Added search features so that you can search for movies by keyword

* Created a launcher icon using Adobe Photoshop
**Popular Movies uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.**
I learned how to link my app to Google AdMob, design an app icon, how to reply on the feedback on improvements, and use the Google Play Console to manage my app. If you like my **Popular Movies** app, you can download it on Google Play.
