Summary

Android app to view data found on aviationweather.gov in a more friendly fashion than trying to view the website directly on a mobile browser.

Getting started

Available on Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clearboxsoln.aviationwx

Once app is up and running, a long tap will query METARs for what's shown on screen.

Desired Features

I'd love help making this app better. Here's the things I have in mind.

  • Make sure another developer can get up and running (have I included essential files in git?)
  • About tab to steer folks to github and give instructions
  • Change the long click for query? Not intuitive for a new user. Maybe an HOWTO note?
  • Radar overlay
  • Be smart about which stations to display. (I think this is done with the density=prior)
  • Ability to switch to satellite or terrain google map views
  • Use phone's position to center map.
  • Get testing framework up and running.
  • Wind barbs - Could be implemented with features built into aviationweather.gov
  • TAF (DONE)
  • PIREPs - (DONE - but icons could be much better)
