Weatherify

Weatherify fetches data from the OpenWeatherMap API to provide real time weather information. Weatherfiy is implemented using the MVVM single activity architecture, Retrofit2, Dagger-Hilt, LiveData, Coroutines, Room, Navigation Components, View Binding and some other libraries from the Android Jetpack.

  const val API_KEY_VALUE = "your api key here"

Technologies used

• openweather api provides weather data for any location.
• MVVM Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) is a structural design pattern that separates objects into model, view and view model.
• Dagger-hilt a dependency injection library for Android that reduces the boilerplate of doing manual dependency injection in your project.
• Retrofit a REST Client for Android which makes it relatively easy to retrieve and upload JSON (or other structured data) via a REST based webservice.
• Glide a fast and efficient open source media management and image loading framework for Android.
• LiveData to handle data in a lifecycle-aware fashion.
• Navigation Component to handle all navigations and also passing of data between destinations.
• Material Design an adaptable system of guidelines, components, and tools that support the best practices of user interface design.
• Coroutines used to manage the local storage i.e. writing to and reading from the database. Coroutines help in managing background threads and reduces the need for callbacks.
• View Binding is feature that allows you to more easily write code that interacts with views.
• Room persistence library which provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
