Movies

To learn more about how we built Movies, the decisions behind the code and to have your questions answered, join us on Thursday March 12 at 9am PST / 4pm GMT: http://www.crowdcast.io/e/appceleratorcrowdcast1

Movies is an internal app we built to demonstrate how with Appcelerator you can use JavaScript to deliver beautiful, high-performance native apps entirely indistinguishable from those built in Java or Objective-C (or Swift).

Quick Start

The below instructions assume you already have successfully installed Titanium/Appcelerator Studio and Command Line Tools. If you have not installed Appcelerator toolchain, please review the documentation here:

Installation and Configuration

Now, if everything is setup correctly lets get you started with the Movies app.

Importing and building using Titanium / Appcelerator Studio

• Open Titanium/Appcelerator Studio
• From the menu bar select File -> Import... and the Import dialog box will open
• In the Import* dialog, expand the Git folder and select Git Repository as New Project and click Next
• The Source Repository dialog is now open. Click on the URI radio button and in the text field type or paste git@github.com:appcelerator/movies.git
• Click Finish

Now, the Movies app will be pulled down from source control and setup into your Studio workspace.

To build the application:

• Select your target from the dropdown and click Run

Importing and building from Command Line

• cd into the directory you would like to host the movies app

$> cd ~/MY_PARENT_FOLDER

• clone the this git repository

$> git clone git@github.com:appcelerator/movies.git

• cd to the movies app directory

$> cd ~/MY_PARENT_FOLDER/movies

• Build the application for either iOS or Andrdoid
