This application displays weather forecasts from the yr.no service. It is a Java port of the original Serpentine implementation, which is published under
https://gitlab.com/dboddie/weather-forecast
See the Changelog for details about each version of this application. Note that version 1.2.0 and later may have issues with handling secure communication with the server, particularly for older Android devices, running versions earlier than Android 5 (Lollipop).
The application is not configured to use any default locations, but a list of preset locations are supplied. Select the text field at the bottom of the screen, start entering a place name, and suggestions for the location will be presented. You can optionally select one of the suggestions. Press the Add button to add the location to the list. Since the list of known locations is limited, your preferred location may not be available; see below for a workaround for this problem.
To remove a location from the list, press and hold the relevant item in the list until the Remove and Cancel buttons appear below the list. Press Remove to remove the item or Cancel to keep it.
To view a forecast for a location, tap the relevant item. If a connection to the yr.no server can be established, the location list will be hidden and the forecast will be shown. Otherwise, a "No connection" message will be displayed.
The app contains a list of known locations which I obtained from the yr.no service, but yr.no itself knows about many more places than these. It was previously possible to add custom locations to the list of those known by the app, but this feature has been temporarily removed.
The development is done with Eclipse and andmore-Plugin. A direct gradle build is also supported.
