First Movie Listing Screen

• Implemented a single RecyclerView to display the entire screen, with each view divided into different items.
• Utilized an Any type mutable list to hold data for each element on the screen.
• Implemented the MVVM architecture for clean separation of concerns.
• Employed the Glide third-party library for image caching.
• Managed pagination logic using a RecyclerView scroll listener.
• Used a Fragment over an Activity for efficient view management.
• Handled rating view with a ProgressBar, dynamically setting a progress drawable based on conditions.
• Utilized Retrofit for network connections.
• Note: The 'duration' key is missing in the popular movie API.

Second Movie Detail Screen

• Employed FlowLayout to display genres and used Glide for loading the poster image.
• Again, used a Fragment for better modularity and reusability.
• Added a unit test case for a function responsible for converting date formats.
