Weather-Downloader

Want to show the weather information in your app, here is a simple and efficient solution for you. Now show the weather information you need in your app without deviating away from your app's core idea. This is a helper library to get basic weather information into your app (not into a weather app of course). It uses the openweathermap api to get the weather data. Please note that this is still in beta phase and is limited to get the current weather conditions only. Forecast and Historical data will be added in future releases.

#Include in your project ##Using Gradle

compile 'codelight.studios.android:weather-downloader:0.1'

##How to use ###1. Implement the WeatherDataDownloadListener in your Activity WeatherDataDownloadListener implements the callback functions to be called after the weather info is loaded.

    
    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements WeatherDownloader.WeatherDataDownloadListener {
    
        ...
        
        @Override
        public void onWeatherDownloadComplete(WeatherData data, WeatherDownloader.Mode mode) {
            
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onWeatherDownloadFailed(Exception e) {
            
        }
    }

###2. Invoke the getCurrentWeatherData to get the current weather conditions Invoke the getCurrentWeatherData method by passing your Api Key and the Query (location name/zipcode/id/coordinates) strings.

    //Get data by city name
    WeatherDownloader downloader = new WeatherDownloader(MainActivity.this, WeatherDownloader.Mode.CITYNAME);
    downloader.getCurrentWeatherData(getResources().getString(R.string.weather_api_key), locationQuery);
    
    //Get data by city ID
    WeatherDownloader downloader = new WeatherDownloader(MainActivity.this, WeatherDownloader.Mode.CITYID);
    downloader.getCurrentWeatherData(getResources().getString(R.string.weather_api_key), cityIdQuery);
    
    //Get data by zip code
    WeatherDownloader downloader = new WeatherDownloader(MainActivity.this, WeatherDownloader.Mode.ZIPCODE);
    downloader.getCurrentWeatherData(getResources().getString(R.string.weather_api_key), zipCodeQuery);
    
    //Get data by coordinates. In this method, the coordinatesQuery should be in the form of latitude:longitude format only
    WeatherDownloader downloader = new WeatherDownloader(MainActivity.this, WeatherDownloader.Mode.COORDINATES);
    downloader.getCurrentWeatherData(getResources().getString(R.string.weather_api_key), coordinatesQuery);
    

That's it! Once the weather is downloaded in the background thread, you will be notified via the above mentioned onWeatherDownloadComplete or onWeatherDownloadFailed listeners.
