The Legal Side of APIs

We're super close to having the bottom of our layout done. 0:00 There's just one more thing we need to add. 0:03 If we go back to the developer page in Dark Sky and look here in the overview. 0:05 Scroll down here to terms of service. 0:12 I'm not going to read this all, or go through it section by section. 0:16 But before you use it in your app, 0:20 you should familiarize yourself with any terms of service an API has. 0:22 The main one we need to concern ourselves with for 0:26 Stormy is this attribution section. 0:29 In a nutshell, it states that we need to display a Powered by Dark Sky message and, 0:32 if possible, make the text open a given webpage. 0:38 Let's head back over to Android Studio, add in the text view with the required 0:41 message and make the text a link to their site. 0:46 So let's grab a new text view. 0:50 We can strain it to the bottom. 0:55 To the left, or to the right. 0:58 Let's make this a little bit bigger. 1:02 We'll call this darkSkyAttribution. 1:06 For our default text we want it to be Powered by Dark Sky. 1:13 And for the text color, we want it to be our 50% white. 1:23 Okay, now we need to make this a link to open up the Dark Sky website. 1:34 It's fairly simple to do but there are some steps involved, so stick with me. 1:39 First, we need to add the URL to our text and 1:44 the best way to do that is by making this text a string resource. 1:47 So, let's go back up here. 1:53 We'll add a new resource. 1:58 We'll call it dark_sky_message, and we'll put Powered by Dark SKy in there. 2:02 Now we need to head over to the strings.xml file and 2:12 add the URL information to our resource. 2:15 So values, strings. 2:18 We see our string resource that we just named dark_sky_message in here. 2:21 We need to wrap our message text in an HTML anchor tag and 2:26 give the href value of the URL. 2:30 If you aren't familiar with HTML anchor tags and 2:33 href values, I've put some information in the teacher's notes about them. 2:37 To start with, we need to wrap our anchor tag around the text. 2:41 We'll add an anchor tag there, and our closing anchor tag. 2:49 Now we need to add the href and 2:55 url information from Dark Sky to the opening of our anchor tag. 2:57 Come in here. 3:01 Href, and their URL is 3:04 https://darksky.net/poweredby. 3:08 Great! 3:15 That wasn't too painful. 3:17 And if we go back and run our app, we should see our text as a link now. 3:19 And if we click on it, nothing happens. 3:31 Also looks like our degree symbol got out of alignment here, so we'll fix that too. 3:34 Let's tackle that degree symbol first. 3:41 There it is, there isn't a constraint. 3:45 So we'll put the left to the right of the temperature value. 3:47 Okay, so what's going on with our link? 3:52 Well, we still need to tell Android to do something when we click on it. 3:55 There are a few different ways we could go about this. 4:00 We could write an onClick listener for instance. 4:04 But let me show you a way that only takes a couple of lines of code 4:07 in main activity. 4:10 Let's head over there to set that up. 4:11 So we go over to MainActivity. 4:13 So here in our onCreate method, right after we call the setContentView, 4:19 let's define a new TextView named darkSky. 4:24 We want to find the view by the ID that we set a little bit ago, so findViewById. 4:32 I think it was darkSkyAttribution, there it is. 4:40 Now we need to tell Android to enable the links inside this text view object. 4:45 We can do that with the set movement method. 4:50 So darkSkySetMovementMethod();. 4:54 This method takes a parameter, a movement method. 4:59 There is a movement method named link movement method that supports 5:02 clicking on links, and we'll want to get that instance should we click on the link. 5:06 So LinkMovementMethod.getInstance, and that's it. 5:11 Now we can run our app. 5:17 And when we click on the link, We're taken to the Dark Sky site. 5:23 Pretty slick, eh? 5:30 Our layout is just about wrapped up. 5:32 And it's great that we have added that attribution to Dark Sky. 5:34 That'll make the attorneys happy. 5:38 We're nearing completion of our Stormy app and you're doing great. 5:40 The next step is to connect or 5:44 bind the data we are getting from the Dark Sky API to our new interface. 5:46 Let's see how to do that in the next stage. 5:50
