Weather App

Objective

An Android app to visualize the weather conditions of 4 major cities where a rock band is touring. The app displays a card for each city with current temperature and weather condition and also the forecast for the next 5 days. The app also works offline, but a first successful connection is needed. I kept the app as a weather app in case of future functionalities that turn it into a more generic weather application, so it is useful despite the band's tour.

Technologies Used

• Flutter 3.22.3

Requirements

• Flutter SDK 3.22.3
• OpenWeather API account
  • You will need to register an account, fill the billing information and create or use the API Key.
  • The reason for the need to fill the billing is because the app uses One Call API 3.0. You can use 1000 calls for free.
  • It takes some time for the key to work after it is first registered. In case of unexpected 401, that's the reason.

Steps to tun

• Clone the repository and enter the folder with your terminal;
• If you are using VSCode, create a .vscode in the root of the application folder;
• Inside the .vscode folder, create a launch.json file and fill with this information:
  • { "configurations": [ { "name": "Weather App Production", "request": "launch", "type": "dart", "toolArgs": [ "--dart-define", "API_KEY={YOUR-API-KEY}" ], }, ] }
  • Change {YOUR-API-KEY} for the key you got in the OpeanWeather keys section;
• Run Flutter pub get to install the dependencies;
• Run dart run build_runner build to generate the models;
• Press F5 if using VSCode.
  • NOTICE: If you are not using VSCode, do not forget to use the --dart-define variable passing you key to the API_KEY variable, otherwise the app will not work.

Enjoy :D
