Installation

Quick note is that you must provide your own API key for The Movie DB API in order to use this demo. To get an API key, you need to register for an account (or sign in). Once you have the key, put the key into the API_KEY constant in the ./app/src/main/res/values/secrets.xml file:

ources>
<string name="api_key">XXXX</string>
sources>

Once you've setup the key and imported the project into Android Studio, you should be all set.
