A multiplatform app for browsing new movies and fetching nearest cinemas

fmovies – flutter showcase app

fmovies is a multiplatform app for browsing new movies and fetching nearest cinemas. it is completely written in dart and flutter framework using bloc pattern.

this app is not released in production because it is just a showcase what you can do with flutter. we started this project as a playground for learning dart and flutter framework.

  nearest cinemas

first of all you will need to setup your development environment. to
do that go to the official flutter
documentation and follow
ve.
after flutter doctor says everything is fine follow next steps:

1. download the project to your machine
2. open project with your ide
3. run flutter packages get
4. add api key for google maps

• android: specify your api key in the androidmanifest.xml

<manifest>

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.api_key"
               android:value="your key here"/>
   </application>
</manifest>

• ios: specify your api key in the application delegate ios/runner/appdelegate.swift:

import uikit
import flutter
import googlemaps

@uiapplicationmain
@objc class appdelegate: flutterappdelegate {
  override func application(
    _ application: uiapplication,
    didfinishlaunchingwithoptions launchoptions: [uiapplicationlaunchoptionskey: any]?
  ) -> bool {
    gmsservices.provideapikey("your key here")
    generatedpluginregistrant.register(with: self)
    return super.application(application, didfinishlaunchingwithoptions: launchoptions)
  }
}

5. create new file secrets.json in /assets directory and add tmdb
   api key and places api key

{
  "tmdb_key": "random_key",
