The architecture of this application relies and complies with the following points below:
- Pattern Model-View-ViewModel(MVVM) which facilitates a separation of development of the graphical user interface.
- Android architecture components which help to keep the application robust, testable, and maintainable.
- 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.
- Kodein for dependency injection.
- ViewModel to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way.
- LiveData to handle data in a lifecycle-aware fashion.
- 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. - Room persistence library which provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
- Android KTX which helps to write more concise, idiomatic Kotlin code.
WeatherApp requires a minimum API level of 23. Clone the repository. You will need an API key i.e. API_KEY from Open Weather to request data. If you don’t already have an account, you will need to create one in order to request an API Key.
In your project's root directory, inside the local.properties file (create one if unavailable) include the following lines:
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
