Overview

The Weather App is a simple Android application that provides real-time weather information based on the user’s current location. It uses the Weather API to fetch weather data and display it in a user-friendly interface. This README provides an overview of the app’s features, how to set it up, and how to use it.

Features

  • Real-Time Weather Data: The app fetches real-time weather data based on the user’s current location.

  • Dynamic Background: The app dynamically changes its background based on whether it’s day or night at the user’s location.

  • 3-Day Weather Forecast: In addition to current weather information, the app also displays a 3-day weather forecast.

  • Location Permission Handling: The app handles location permission requests and gracefully handles scenarios where location access is denied.
