Android app: Getting list of posters in ListView by popularity with Discover
posted by jaymSTAFFMOD on February 15, 2015 at 7:43 AM
Hello,
I'm creating a simple Android app which display a "ListView" with only the movies posters, ranked by popularity (or alphabetical order). I know I can use the Discover feature for both of them.
Any indications on how I can do it?
Thank you so much :)

Hi jaym,
You won't be able to get the list of posters per movie without calling the /images method on each item. Every item in the list view does however return the top rated poster and backdrop for the language you're querying in the
poster_path/backdrop_pathfield.Keep in mind if you do go out and call the item's image method, you can actually call the main item and the images call with a single HTTP call by using
append_to_response. Example:Cheers.
