14,817 PointsWeather App temperature problem
Hey guys,
i followed the course on how to create a weather app. Everything works as it should. Well except for one thing... Since I'm from Europe, i want to display my temperature in degree celsius, not degree fahrenheit.
I searched for the right way to convert the temperature from F to C, but I'm constantly 2-8 degrees off... Here's the way i convert it:
public int getTemperature() {
double degreeCelsius = ((mTemperature - 32) * 0.55556);
return (int)Math.round(degreeCelsius);
}
I use the forecast API to get the data. I thought that maybe because of the API the temperature is wrong, but I checked the homepage forecast.io and the temperature of my hometown matches other forecast sites. My app, however, displays it wrong.

The way I converted the temperature was right, but I used the wrong coordinates in my API... Pretty stupid. But now it works fine!

temperatue = ((temperatue - 32)*5)/9;
It will give you the degree in Celsius.
Hope it helps!
Happy Coding!

When I do it your way, it screws up my temperature displayed in a recycler view... Everytime I scroll down, the most top temperature gets redone and after a while i get rediculously low temperatures :D Don't ask me why or how...
I moved back to my implementation. I keep you updatet on how or if i solved the problem :)
