WeatherApp 🌦️

WeatherApp is a basic weather application created for learning purposes. This app includes a few essential weather features to help users check current weather conditions. Due to the limitations of free APIs, only a small set of features is available, and the interface is kept simple and functional without advanced UI design.

📋 Project Overview

WeatherApp was built to explore basic API usage, working with simple weather data, and practicing responsive design. It offers current weather information for a user’s location or selected cities worldwide using a free-tier API. While many advanced features aren't available due to paid API restrictions, this project serves as a good introduction to building simple apps with external data.

Goals and Intentions

The main goals for WeatherApp include:

1. Basic API Integration: Understanding how to connect to and retrieve data from a public API.
2. Responsive Layout Practice: Ensuring the app works reasonably on different screen sizes.
3. Simple User Interface: Focusing on basic usability rather than advanced design.

🔑 Basic Features (Free Version)

• Current Weather Data: Shows temperature, humidity, wind speed, and more with explanation for the user's location or selected cities.
• City Search: A simple search feature for checking weather in other locations.
• Widget: Offer an easy-to-add widget for the home screen.
• Forecast: Predict weather for the next 7 days.

🚧 Potential Future Additions

Several features were left out due to API restrictions or are ideas for further exploration:

• Weather Alerts: Notifications for extreme weather conditions.
• Weather Map: A map displaying weather data visually.
• Weather History: History for past weather data.
• And More

⚙️ Tech Stack

WeatherApp is built with:

• Android Development: Kotlin, XML for layouts
• Architecture: MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) for a structured, testable, and maintainable codebase
• API: OpenWeatherMap (free-tier) for weather data
• Version Control: Git and GitHub for progress tracking and collaboration
