The Weather App is an Android application designed to provide users with real-time weather forecasts on their Android devices. Users can choose a city by name and receive weather conditions, including the current weather condition, temperature, the maximum and minimum temperatures, wind speed, and humidity. The Weather App integrates a notification service to deliver regular updates on weather conditions. In addition, users can customize the app settings by choosing their preferred temperature units, language, and notification options.
The OpenWeather's One Call API (https://openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather) provides weather data through HTTP requests, in JSON format. The request must contain a location and the API key, along with optional parameters such as language and units. The API response contains essential weather data in short-term and long-term forecasts, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric conditions. The JSON data must be parsed to extract the weather data that will be presented to the user.
It's important to note that this app is a learning exercise for different Android functionalities within the context of a weather application. The architectural design employed is not suitable for real-world use.
