Movie Rental Web App

This academic full-stack project implemented a movie-rental experience across a Java and JSP website and a native Android application. Both clients use server endpoints and a shared MySQL database for accounts, permissions, movie information, queues, and viewing history.

Create a consistent browsing and account experience across web and mobile while practicing authentication, role-based authorization, relational data modeling, server communication, and shared application state.

Java servlets and data-access classes expose authentication, search, queue, history, and account workflows backed by MySQL. The Android client communicates with those endpoints over HTTP, parses JSON responses, stores local session preferences, and presents mobile views for browsing, searching, managing a queue, and reviewing watched movies.
