WheaterTestApp

This repository is a solution for the test assignment described below:

Objectives & Requirements: Develop a native application containing at least the following elements

• A list view displaying 16 days weather forecast for user’s city (required user location)
• A detail view displaying a maximum of information for a specific day's weather
• On the detail view, display "Hot" if temperature is > 25°C, "Cold" if temperature < 10°C
• Users get weather updates within 15 min periods when app in background (via notification)
• Any addition that you can think of (feature/design/etc...)

Focus:

• We use MVVM Architecture here at HolidayPirates but you are free to implement a different architecture as long as you can justify why
• Showcase at least one Unit Tests implementation
• Justify any Build Dependencies that you might use
• Stick to Kotlin Style Guide / Code Convention
• Code must be written in Kotlin
• We will actually read your code, don't hesitate to put comments if you think it's necessary

Technical information:

• Documentation: http://openweathermap.org/api http://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions
• Content url: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=Paris&units=metric&appid=648a3aac37935 e5b45e09727df728ac2

Due to restriction of the OpenWeatherMap service, the app uses another endpoint — 5-days forecast on every three hours basis.

Demo

Instruction

In order to build and run the app on your own device/emulator you must provide your OpenWeatherMap api key:

1. Create a file apikey.properties in the root folder of the project
2. Add a single line to the file: API_KEY="{your_api_key}"

Free api key registration is available on the official website "https://openweathermap.org/"
