Look out for the file where you are mentioning the API Key random string.

Is the MyOpenWeatherMapApiKey supposed to be our personal key that we get from the weather website?

My build.gradle file gives error when I try and sync it once I've added the key in:

Error:Cause: failed to find target with hash string 'android-21' in: C:\Users\Parth\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Open Android SDK Manager
Am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE: I changed the version numbers to my current SDK version and now I get this error: Error:(27, 13) Failed to resolve: com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.3
Install Repository and sync project

Replace MyOpenWeatherMapApiKey with your openweather API key. for example, if your key is 1111111, put ""1111111"" there.

if your id is 111 , you should add buildConfigField "String", "OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY", ""111""

For those of you who are having problems with the OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY, follow these steps:
1- Go to http://openweathermap.org/ and sign up or sign in.
2- Create your own API key in your account page.
3- Copy your API key and open your app build.gradle file in android studio.
4- Copy these lines:
buildTypes.each {
it.buildConfigField 'String', 'OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY', ""YOUR_KEY_HERE""
}
5- Make sure to include the backslash before each of the inner double quotes for your key to be parsed successfully. (I've included them for you, just copy and paste.)

That's it!
