Discussuion

I used Java,Sqlite, and OpenWeatherMap API to create this app.

Requirements

  • Build a baisc Android App to display scrollable weather data for a given location displayed at the top of the main page of the application.
  • Displayed Data is pulled from Open Weather Map API's 5-day forecast and includes: date and time of calculation(UTC),the temperature(Kelvin, Metric),a genreal description of the weather.

    • A progress bar is displayed while data is feteched and hidden after it is fetched. If an error occurs while featching data, an informative error message is displayed.

  • Handle user clicks on indivividual items in the forecast list.

    • When an item is clicked on,a new activity is started, which displays a deatiled forecast with a description of the forecast item.

  • Incorates a feature into the action bar which allows user to see a map of the location for which the forecast is displayed.
  • Incorates a feature into the action bar which allows user to share the contents of the detailed forecast.
  • Handle screen rotations without reloading weather data.
  • Handles viewing preferences for weather units(Imperial,Metric,Kelvin) and weather location(any valid city entry).
  • saves previously viewed locations in SQLite database.
  • Displays saved locations in navgation drawer in naviation bar on Main page.
  • Handles clicks on a previously saved location from the navigation drawer and updates current viewing location.
  • Provides a dialog for which a new location can be added to the database from within the navigation drawer.
