MedhaWeatherApp is an Android application that allows users to check real-time weather forecasts for any U.S. ZIP code. Built in Java using Android Studio in 2023, the app demonstrates working with APIs, JSON parsing, asynchronous tasks, and interactive UI elements.
- Current Temperature: Displays temperature in Fahrenheit.
- Feels Like Temperature: Shows perceived temperature for better accuracy.
- Weather Description: Text description of current weather conditions (e.g., clear sky, rain, snow).
- Wind Speed: Displays wind speed in mph.
- Weather Icons: Dynamic images update based on weather conditions (sun, clouds, rain, snow, thunder, mist).
- ZIP Code Input: Users can enter any U.S. ZIP code to get local weather.
- Time Slider: A
SeekBarallows users to browse hourly forecasts. - Responsive UI: Widgets update automatically when the user changes the ZIP code or moves the slider.
-
User Input
- Users enter a ZIP code and press the Check Weather button.
-
AsyncTask for API Requests
- An
AsyncTaskfetches data from the OpenWeatherMap API in the background. - JSON data is parsed for temperature, weather description, wind speed, and timestamps.

- The
SeekBarlets users scroll through hourly forecasts and see updates in real-time.
- After fetching data, the app updates:
- Languages & Frameworks: Java, Android Studio
- Android Components:
TextView,ImageView,Button,SeekBar,EditText - Networking: Asynchronous API calls with
AsyncTask - Data Handling: JSON parsing for OpenWeatherMap API responses
- Time Conversion: Converts API timestamps to local time for display
- Dynamic UI Updates: Updates widgets in real-time based on user input
- Fully functional weather app.
- Provides current and hourly forecasts.
- Can be extended with features like weather maps, notifications, or multiple locations.
Created in 2023, this project demonstrates Android development skills including API integration, asynchronous programming, dynamic UI updates, and working with JSON data.
