ShowList

ShowList is a simple Android application for creating and managing a personal list of TV shows. Built with Java, it uses a local SQLite database to store and manage show data, providing a basic, offline-first experience for tracking your favorite series.

Features

• View Your Shows: Displays a scrollable list of your saved TV shows, each with a title and rating.
• Detailed View: Tap any show in the list to navigate to a dedicated screen with a larger image and a full description.
• Add New Shows: Easily add new entries to your list using a floating action button that opens a form for the title, rating, and description.
• Delete Shows: Remove shows from the list by long-pressing an item and selecting the 'Delete' option from the context menu.
• Local Storage: All show data is stored locally on your device using an SQLite database, which is pre-populated with a few examples.
