BESTV

Android TV App powered by TMDb

It is a easy way to find the best TV content, the top movies, series... all of that in your TV.

The goal of the project is to be a guide line about Android TV, that shows how to use the Leanback library from Google. The project also uses the popular libraries and tools from the Android ecosystem.

The main widgets from Android TV are used: BrowseSupportFragment, SearchSupportFragment, DetailsSupportFragment, VerticalSupportFragment.

API Documentation

BESTV uses the version 3 of The Movie Database (TMDb) API. You can find all the documentation about the requests and the responses responses there.

API Keys

BESTV uses The Movie DB API in order to fetch all the data, but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb. To be able to run this application you have to create an API KEY from The Movie DB and place it in your gradle file.

buildConfigField "String", "TMDB_API_KEY", "YOUR API KEY HERE"
