# Unit 2 Project: Flixster - Part 2

**Overview**: This project builds off last week's project to view information from The Movie Database API. The user can tap on any list element in order to see more details about the movie selected.

**Video Walkthrough**: Start with this [video walkthrough](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsMMzhKG2R4&list=PLrT2tZ9JRrf4CFC04fqUVGoxoG087GLYs&index=2&t=0s) to complete a basic version of this assignment.

**Submission Tips**:

* Make sure you are adding and committing files in git as you complete features and milestones.
* Be sure to **include a README** containing a GIF walkthrough of your app.
* Use [this README template](https://ontraq.org/assignments/android/two/readme.txt) in order to have a complete README.

**Introduction**: the fundamental concepts this week are around activities and the intent system.

## User Stories

> A user story is a way to capture requirements for an app from an end-user perspective.
> It is a common practice in app development and helps to simplify the way requirements are specified.

### Required Stories

- Expose details of movie (ratings using RatingBar, popularity, and synopsis) in a [separate activity.](http://guides.codepath.org/android/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#passing-data-to-launched-activities) (_**8 points**_)

- Trailers for popular movies are played automatically when the movie is selected (_**1 point**_).
- When clicking on a popular movie (i.e. a movie voted for more than 5 stars) the video should be played immediately.
- Less popular videos rely on the detailed page should show an image preview that can initiate playing a YouTube video.
- Add a play icon overlay to popular movies to indicate that the movie can be played (_**1 point**_).
- Apply [data binding for views](https://guides.codepath.com/android/Applying-Data-Binding-for-Views) to help remove boilerplate code. (_**1 point**_)

**Mockups:**

A very basic version of having a detail activity which plays the trailer:


**A simplified detail view could look like this (yours should have more details):**
