Dual weather and inspirational quote screen.

Inspiration

Our group members were inspired to try app development and utilize APIs.

What it does

Our app generates random inspirational quotes, and uses live locational data to display a weather report for the day.

How we built it

We build this app using AndroidStudio as our IDE. The main screen was a Java Activity file comprised of embedded fragment activities: weather and quote services. We used the Android SDK version 29 as the run time environment. We pulled live weather data using the OpenWeatherMap API, where we deserialized the data into a Weather object and displayed it on the XML Text and Image views. We then serialized user data for later use in different screen Activities.

Challenges we ran into

Most of the sources we used to learn the documentation for Fragments in Activity screens were very outdated, and we had to scrap some ideas due to the software documentation not being comprehensive enough.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to dynamically implement the weather services API into our Fragment view and both call and send requests to the API to retrieve and deserialize JSON data into our weather object.
