Easier way to set the Icon Image.

Before moving to this video, I wrote the code to set my mIconImageView, but mine was a little bit different. When I seen that the mIconView.setImageDrawable() needed a Drawable item, instead of creating the new item, I looked at the other methods available. I found this: mIconImageView.setImageResource(mCurrentWeather.getIconId()); It lets me change the id directly, so I'm able to use the value that is stored in mCurrentWeather without creating a Drawable.

To test and make sure that it is working correctly, I changed the GPS coordinates to my location, both the icon and summary changed to match my location.
