Weather App

Overview

Weather App is an Android application that provides real-time weather information using modern architecture patterns and Jetpack architecture components. It follows the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture along with the repository pattern for efficient data management. The app gracefully handles no internet conditions and incorporates local caching for a seamless user experience.

Features

• MVVM Architecture: Utilizes a clean and scalable architecture pattern for better separation of concerns and maintainability.

• Repository Pattern: Implements a repository layer to abstract the data source and manage data access.

• Last Updated Time Stamp: App also shows the the time when you last updated the data or if you are offline you can check when you last fetched the data

• Jetpack Architecture Components:

  • LiveData: Ensures data updates are observed and reflected in the UI.
  • ViewModel: Manages UI-related data and handles the communication between the UI and the underlying data model.
  • Room Database: Provides local caching of weather data for offline access.

• Dependency Injection with Hilt:

  • Utilizes Hilt for managing dependency injection, making the codebase more modular and testable.

• Weather Information:

  • Displays real-time weather information for the current location.
  • Shows temperature details for six major cities (New York, Singapore, Mumbai, Delhi, Sydney, Melbourne).

• No Internet Handling:

  • Gracefully handles scenarios where there is no internet connection.
  • Provides a user-friendly message to inform users about the lack of connectivity.
