Weather

• The application is designed to give the user useful information about the weather, recovering all the details for the specific location.
• The user can choose from a list of cities to recover their information, including the current location of the device.
• If none of the cities is which one you want to look for, free text the city you want to recover information.

This application was designed to supply the needed requisites from a Android Code Challenge, designing an application that is able to recover weather information such as visibility and humidity from a specific location.
The focus of this application was mainly the codes and functionalities. The interface is caring of details, animations and images but as it will be shown below, it works perfectly and follow the latest technologies of Android development.

Android Code Challenge

Rules:

Description

• The app should contain the 09 european cities listed and the current location
• At least two different interfaces, one for searching and other for information purposes
• Use the requested API

---

Demo

First Time	Other Times

• Install your app and read a dialog explaining how to search locations using the app's funcionalities.
• This dialog will be shown only the first time the application is open.

Current Location	Specific Location

• Use your current location given by your GPS system to receive more information about your area
• Use one of the specific cities of the list to recover their information
• Check them on map!

• If none of the locations provided matches with the one you want to search, simply search by texting the name of city you want to recover information

Code Example

private fun configSharedPreferences() {
        sharedPreferences = activity!!.getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE) ?: return
        val value =
            sharedPreferences.getInt(getString(R.string.readed_how_to_use), Constants.DEFAULT_VALUE)
        if (value == Constants.DEFAULT_VALUE) {
            sharedPreferences = activity!!.getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE) ?: return
            with(sharedPreferences.edit()) {
                putInt(getString(R.string.readed_how_to_use), Constants.UPDATED_VALUE)
                apply()
            }
            configOneTimeDialog()
        }
    }

Code designed to be used insite onCreate, which creates a sharedPreference with a default value. This code creates a dialog explaining how to use the search functions to recover the information in one of the two possible ways provided.
The code compares the value created the first time the application runs with the value updated after the dialog appears. Since the value is updated in the right first moment, it just becomes as default when the user reinstall the application, avoiding dealing with the explanation every time.
