CryptoMovies

CryptoMovies is a small app that shows modern Android developement: with Hilt, Coroutines, Flow, Jetpack and Material Design 3.

Project Setup / Before building the app

Is a bad practice storing API Keys inside Git repositories so you will need to add it manually. Please, add the MovieDB API Key inside the local.properties file in the root directory of the project:

sdk.dir=/Users/lpirro/Library/Android/sdk
apiKey="moviedb api key"
