Method that Ben mentions.

Around the 1:15 sec mark of the video. Ben mentioned something about a double.toString method for setting the text for the temperatureLabel. Does anyone know how to use that, rather than then ( + "") way he gets it to a String value?

try String.valueOf(num) where num is of double datatype. Hope this helps!

I did-

private void updateDisplay() {

    String tempString = String.valueOf(mCurrentWeather.getTemperature()) ;

    mTemperatureLabel.setText(tempString);
}

and it seems to be working- Thanks!

Below each comment and answer box is a link to the markdown cheatsheet. That better explains how to get code windows to show in your comments, like you accidentally did here.
