Inspiration

After a long cold winter, we want to know when the warm weather is coming, and so we can go out and enjoy dates. When we use weather maps, Siri, and Google, it's really tiring to scroll down to the expected weather or Siri and Google do not remind as if our expected weather is coming. Now, here is MyClimate which solves those hassle.

What it does

The user needs to set his/her weather preferences and the app reminds the user if the same weather coming

How we built it

We used OpenWeatherMap API for the map and Java and SQLite in Android for notifications and weather evaluation.

Challenges we ran into

While creating the app, the two main problems we have are how to score the weather according to the user's input and remind the user when the same weather is coming.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We could display the live-data weather map using openweathermap API, and we could make the hassle-free reminder app which notifies the user to plan ahead with the weather.

What we learned

Creating a real-world problem solving app needs to go beyond the class lectures.

What's next for MyClimate

We will add the speech recognition feature to be more hassle-free in user input and develop GUIs.

I worked on the design of the app and its layout. Created the algorithm for the weather rating feature. Also designed the app GUI and layout and did coding for certain weather retrieved features.

I was responsible for implementing notifications with the Android API, and also designing the UI for the preferences menu. In addition, I devised the algorithm for calculating the weather ratings from the current temperature. I definitely came away from this hack with a better idea of Android development which I didn't have extensive experience with either.

I worked on Android and SQLite Database for GUIs and Model(data) and View in
MVC paradigm.

Shane Khant Soe Moe
I was responsible programming the controller, which provides weather evaluation and comparisons behind the scenes to be used in the app. This was my first time, so I was a scout, and it introduced me to android app development, something I didn't have extensive experience in.
