4,365 PointsIf we were fetching the location every time we made a query ,what will you put on the empty String at your forecastURL
lets say you are creating a weather app and you want the user to get the details based on his or her location. What will you put on the empty String at your forecastURL let forecastURL = NSURL(String: " " , relativeToURL: baseURL)

Great question. What you will want to do is add the userLocation data.
var userLocation : String! // Added at the top of your file near the other IBOutlets
userLocation = "\(userLatitude),\(userLongitude)"
let baseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/\(apiKey)/")
let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "\(userLocation)", relativeToURL:baseURL)
before adding the above information you will need the following:
//LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
func initLocationManager() {
seenError = false
locationFixAchieved = false
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didFailWithError error: NSError!) {
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
if ((error) != nil) {
if (seenError == false) {
seenError = true
print(error)
}
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: [AnyObject]!) {
CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(manager.location, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error)->Void in
let pm = placemarks[0] as! CLPlacemark
self.displayLocationInfo(pm)
})
if (locationFixAchieved == false) {
locationFixAchieved = true
var locationArray = locations as NSArray
var locationObj = locationArray.lastObject as! CLLocation
var coord = locationObj.coordinate
self.userLatitude = coord.latitude
self.userLongitude = coord.longitude
getCurrentWeatherData()
}
}
func displayLocationInfo(placemark: CLPlacemark?) {
if let containsPlacemark = placemark {
//stop updating location to save battery life
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
let locality = (containsPlacemark.locality != nil) ? containsPlacemark.locality : ""
let postalCode = (containsPlacemark.postalCode != nil) ? containsPlacemark.postalCode : ""
let administrativeArea = (containsPlacemark.administrativeArea != nil) ? containsPlacemark.administrativeArea : ""
let country = (containsPlacemark.country != nil) ? containsPlacemark.country : ""
//println(locality)
//println(postalCode)
//println(administrativeArea)
//println(country)
self.userLocationLabel.text = "\(locality), \(administrativeArea)"
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!,
didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
var shouldIAllow = false
switch status {
case CLAuthorizationStatus.Restricted:
locationStatus = "Restricted Access to location"
case CLAuthorizationStatus.Denied:
locationStatus = "User denied access to location"
case CLAuthorizationStatus.NotDetermined:
locationStatus = "Status not determined"
default:
locationStatus = "Allowed to location Access"
shouldIAllow = true
}
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("LabelHasbeenUpdated", object: nil)
if (shouldIAllow == true) {
NSLog("Location to Allowed")
// Start location services
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
} else {
NSLog("Denied access: \(locationStatus)")
}
}
Let me know if you have any other questions.
