Clouddy – Weather App
About the app
- The main goal to make this app was to learn the basics of Jetpack Compose along with other architecture components like Navigation, Dagger-Hilt and Retrofit.
- The app uses OpenWeatherMap One Call API to fetch current, hourly, and daily(7 days) weather updates.
Architecture
- The app uses MVVM [Model-View-ViewModel] architecture to have a unidirectional flow of data, separation of concern, testability, and a lot more.
Design
- Design for the app is inspired from Furkansin.
- Weather icons are taken from Icons8 under its free-tier subscription.
About Jetpack Compose
- Jetpack Compose is a modern Android UI toolkit introduced by Google.
- It simplifies the app development process and speeds it up.
- With Jetpack Compose, you can write less code compared to the current view building approach – which also means less potential bugs.
- There is one more great thing about it – it uses Kotlin.
- Compose is not fully bug-free at the moment but has great support and is surely the next big thing in Native Android Development.
