Flutter is Google’s mobile UI framework used for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android. This course focuses on building applications for the Android platform.

You’ll start by exploring the intricacies of Flutter and work your way up to implementing a contact profile page for an Android address book.

In the latter half of the course, you’ll learn to work with Flutter themes to spruce up the contact profile app you created. To round out your Flutter experience, you’ll also practice fetching data from a remote Application Programming Interface (API).

You’ll put into practice what you learn using live coding environments embedded within the course. By the time you’re done, you’ll be ready to create your own Android app and publish it to the Google Play Store.

Beginning Flutter: Android Mobile App Development

# What will we do?

The Movie Database (TMDb) is a community built movie and TV database.

In this chapter, you’ll query [The Movie DB](https://themoviedb.org/) (or TMDB) API to fetch the most popular movies. 

You’ll create a Movie App to list popular movies fetched from [TMDB API](https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api) as shown in the screenshot below.

# The app interface

The Flutter app user interface includes the following parts:
* **Image:** movie's poster image
* **Title:** movie name
* **Overview:** movie description
* **Divider:** a grey line to separate items
* **Vertical list view:** movies are listed in a vertically scrollable list. 


In this lesson, we introduce fetching data from a remote Application Programming Interface (API). This concept will be discussed in further detail in the upcoming lessons.
