- App is written solely in the Java Programming Language.
- Movies are displayed in the main layout via a grid of their corresponding movie poster thumbnails.
- UI contains an element (i.e a spinner or settings menu) to toggle the sort order of the movies by: most popular, highest rated.
- UI contains a screen for displaying the details for a selected movie.
- Movie details layout contains title, release date, movie poster, vote average, and plot synopsis.
- App utilizes stable release versions of all libraries, Gradle, and Android Studio.
- When a user changes the sort criteria (“most popular and highest rated”) the main view gets updated correctly.
- When a movie poster thumbnail is selected, the movie details screen is launched.
- In a background thread, app queries the /movie/popular or /movie/top_rated API for the sort criteria specified in the settings menu.
- App conforms to common standards found in the Android Nanodegree General Project Guidelines (NOTE: For Stage 1 of the Popular Movies App, it is okay if the app does not restore the data using onSaveInstanceState/onRestoreInstanceState)
