This Android app interacts with The Movie Database (TMDB) API. Every line of code has been generatedor suggested by AI using a large language model.

Alpha = TMDBBeta = OpenAI

The codebase evolves as the AI generates more and more code.

1. Get a TMDB API key fromthemoviedb.org.
2. Add togradle.properties:

   TMDB_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

3. Sync project with Gradle files.

1. Browse movies by different categories (popular, top-rated, etc.)
2. Search for movies
3. View detailed movie information
4. Mark movies as favorites
5. Create custom movie lists (authenticated users only)
6. Switch between grid and list views
7. Apply filters (genre, release year, minimum rating)
8. Toggle between light and dark themes

The app follows the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture:

• Model: Represented by theMovie andMovieResponse data classes
• View: Compose UI components in various screen files
• ViewModel:MovieViewModel manages the app's state and business logic

1. TheMovieViewModel fetches data from theMovieRepository
2. The repository makes API calls using theApiService
3. Data is then exposed to the UI components via StateFlows in the ViewModel
4. UI components observe these flows and recompose when the data changes

1. User initiates authentication from the ListCreationScreen
2. App obtains a request token from the TMDB API
3. User approves the request token via a web browser
4. App exchanges the approved token for a session ID
5. Session ID is stored for future authenticated requests
