User Interface - Layout
MEETS SPECIFICATIONS 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.
User Interface - Function
MEETS SPECIFICATIONS 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.
Network API Implementation
MEETS SPECIFICATIONS In a background thread, app queries the /movie/popular or /movie/top_rated API for the sort criteria specified in the settings menu.
General Project Guidelines
MEETS SPECIFICATIONS 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)

Project Stage 2 User Interface - Layout
UI contains an element (e.g., a spinner or settings menu) to toggle the sort order of the movies by: most popular, highest rated. Movies are displayed in the main layout via a grid of their corresponding movie poster thumbnails. 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. Movie Details layout contains a section for displaying trailer videos and user reviews. Tablet UI uses a Master-Detail layout implemented using fragments. The left fragment is for discovering movies. The right fragment displays the movie details view for the currently selected movie. User Interface - Function
When a user changes the sort criteria (most popular, highest rated, and favorites) the main view gets updated correctly. When a movie poster thumbnail is selected, the movie details screen is launched. When a trailer is selected, app uses an Intent to launch the trailer. In the movies detail screen, a user can tap a button(for example, a star) to mark it as a Favorite. Network API Implementation
In a background thread, app queries the /movie/popular or /movie/top_rated API for the sort criteria specified in the settings menu. App requests for related videos for a selected movie via the /movie/{id}/videos endpoint in a background thread and displays those details when the user selects a movie. App requests for user reviews for a selected movie via the /movie/{id}/reviews endpoint in a background thread and displays those details when the user selects a movie. Data Persistence
App saves a "Favorited" movie to SharedPreferences or a database using the movie’s id. When the "favorites" setting option is selected, the main view displays the entire favorites collection based on movie IDs stored in SharedPreferences or a database.
