About

Weather App is an Android application developed in Kotlin that fetches and displays weather information for different cities using the OpenWeatherMap API. The app allows users to search for a city's weather and provides details such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, sunrise and sunset times, and weather conditions.

Features

• Fetch and display current weather data for any city.
• Search functionality to find weather data for specific cities.
• Real-time updates of weather conditions.
• Dynamic background and animations based on weather conditions.
• Displays detailed weather metrics including temperature, humidity, wind speed, sunrise, and sunset times.

Installation

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

MainActivity Code Snippet

Here’s a brief overview of the MainActivity code:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val binding: ActivityMainBinding by lazy {
        ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
    }

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(binding.root)

        fetchWeatherData("sopore")
        searchCity()
    }

    private fun searchCity() {
        val searchView = binding.searchView
        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
            override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
                if (query != null) {
                    fetchWeatherData(query)
                }
                return true
            }

            override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String?): Boolean {
                return true
            }
        })
    }

    private fun fetchWeatherData(cityName: String) {
        val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
            .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
            .baseUrl("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/")
            .build().create(ApiInterface::class.java)

        val response = retrofit.getWeatherDate(cityName, "YOUR_API_KEY", "metric")
        response.enqueue(object : Callback<WeatherApp> {
            override fun onResponse(call: Call<WeatherApp>, response: Response<WeatherApp>) {
                val responseBody = response.body()
                if (response.isSuccessful && responseBody != null) {
                    updateUI(responseBody, cityName)
                }
            }

            override fun onFailure(call: Call<WeatherApp>, t: Throwable) {
                // Handle failure
            }
        })
    }

    private fun updateUI(responseBody: WeatherApp, cityName: String) {
        // Update UI elements with weather data
    }
}
