Android App
The Movie App
Native movie browser powered by the TMDB API
The Movie App is a modern Android application built with Jetpack Compose that leverages the TMDB API to showcase popular, now playing, and top-rated movies. It features a clean Material 3 design, seamless navigation, and user preference management using DataStore.
Single Activity
All navigation handled within one MainActivity using Navigation Compose.
Manual DI
A DefaultAppContainer provides services and repositories without heavy frameworks.
This app demonstrates a full client-server Android workflow: fetching real movie data from the TMDB REST API, rendering it with a reactive Compose UI, and persisting user preferences with DataStore — all wrapped in a clean MVVM architecture with type-safe navigation.
