In this project, and I have developed a location finder application with weather report on android. The application is able to display the user’s current location on Google map with marker and track the user’s location, display a compass to determine north, display the current location latitude , longitude, display current location postal address, track current location weather information and display it on the map and also check the full weather report of the current location. I have used Android Studio software to develop this application.
Programming Language:
- Java
IDE:
- Android Studio
- Application should capture the device location and show it on Google map.
- Should can obtain the address of the location and display it.
- Whenever the user clicks the current location marker, an information window should pop up and display the current temperature and weather description for the location.
- When the user clicks the 'show more' button in the information window, another activity should spawn and display a full weather report from the data returned from the API.
The application should display a map that is detailed enough to allow the user to find device location. The map is displayed from a Google Map. The required accuracy depends on the purpose of the application, but for most applications the degree of accuracy is sufficient if the application can determine the location accurate enough for the user to be able to know what street or building he is in, this degree of accuracy will be fine.
