List items changing values

In my Hour Class i changed my getTemperature method to get me the temperature in Celsius instead of normal Fahrenheit like

public int getTemperature() {
        mTemperature = (mTemperature - 32) * 5/9;
        return (int) Math.round(mTemperature);
    }

but now When I tested my app on emulator, the temperature in the hourly list gets displayed in Celsius but once i scroll through it the temperature randomly gets changed to -1 or -4 after scrolling and rechecking an hour from the list. Don't know what to do to fix it!

never mind! I figured it out :) I created a new private variable and set the value of Celsius temp to it and returned it instead of changing original mTemperature value.

You can get forecast.io to return Celsius temperatures instead of Fahrenheit by appending "?units=si" or "?units=auto" to the request URL. (made an error on first writing, the first char is a question mark, not and ampersand)

Thanks Seth Kroger :) but could you please tell me the step by step procedure?

When you put the URL for the API together:

  private String forecastUrl = "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/YOUR_API_KEY_HERE/" + 
                   latitude + "," + longitude + "?units=auto";

The forecast.io API accepts a number of options by adding them to the Url in query string format
