I just wanted to let everyone know about the release of the latest version of the Build a Weather App in Android. It's an update on the previous version of the course in terms of tools and current application design practices.

Topics Covered

  • Exploring an API
  • Networking considerations for mobile devices
  • Concurrency and Error Handling
  • Processing JSON data with JSONObject
  • Designing an App with ConstraintLayout
  • Using the Android Data Binding Library

Please let me know your thoughts as I always love to hear feedback.

Thanks and Happy Coding,

Nikos;

The course has been updated to use a more current version of Android Studio and implements ConstraintLayout and the Android Data Binding Library instead of ButterKnife.

Those are the big updates.

oh ok :) I did it on my own with Android Data Binding Library instead of ButterKnife because I has some issues with clicks ,also I has do it with Constraint Layout because I like much more and I have a suggestion, because I don't like so much this with refresh button, I used the Refresh Layout.

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
…
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

  swipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
            @Override
            public void onRefresh() {

            }
        });

also include geocode and search bar etc...

thanks very much for your time :)
