Most of us can relate to kicking back on the couch and enjoying a movie with friends and family. In this project, you’ll build an app to allow users to discover the most popular movies playing.
This app uses the API from themoviedb.org
Define key in build.gradle
Find a file named gradle.properties in .gradle folder in your home directory.
Add PopularMoviesApp_ApiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY" to that file.

Popular Movies uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
I learned how to link my app to Google AdMob, design an app icon, how to reply on the feedback on improvements, and use the Google Play Console to manage my app. If you like my Popular Movies app, you can download it on Google Play.
