# Filamu App Code

Filamu is a swahili word for Movie.
This is a exercise repository for the Filamu Android app which is a movie app that consumes
the [THE MOVIE DB API](https://www.themoviedb.org/).The Filamu App uses the [retrofit library](http://square.github.io/retrofit/), A type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java.

## Important!

You need to secure your API key without pushing to remote repository.

Here are the steps:

1. Create a file named `secrets.properties` in the root folder of the project (i.e below local.properties, app, build, gradle, README.md,etc.)
2. Paste your API Key in secrets.properties using this format
* `THE_MOVIE_DB_API_KEY=YOUR-API-KEY`
