Weather App

Welcome to the Weather App! This Android application provides accurate and up-to-date weather forecasts for any city in the world. The app uses data from the WeatherAPI to provide a 24-hour weather forecast for a selected city, with the background image changing dynamically based on whether it is day or night in that location. Additionally, the app now includes functionality to request location permission from the user and guide them to enable location services. Once location services are successfully enabled, the app will automatically display the weather for the user's current city.

Features

• Current Location Support: The app can request location permission and prompt users to turn on location services, allowing the app to display the weather for the user’s current city.

• Search by City: Users can search for any city by name to get the current weather and a 24-hour forecast.

• 24-Hour Forecast: Detailed weather information for the next 24 hours, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and more.

• Dynamic Background: The background image changes to reflect day or night based on the selected city's local time.

• User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive design for a seamless user experience.
