The library, and the demo

INSTALLATION:

Copy the Library in your Basic For Android Library.

Copy the folder weathericon is located in files in the demo. In your one.

In this version I add WeatherUrl and 2 more days forecast.

You can use your own icons, instead of my icons.

For this new version 2.71 you need the new key.

i am happy, top job !!! Thanks.

After tried your code, I realize that I can get weather data from World Weather Online directly by using their API. However, your library saves my time. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the updated library! Only problem is that the five day forecast increments the months instead of the days.

Hi brad, what do you mean increments the month instead of days.

Have a look to the attachment and let me know more.

Disregard. I see that your demo displays the date as dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy which is what i'm used to.

Error LatAndLong

Hi,

why I cannot set LatAndLong instead of getting list from .GetList to avoid choosing from msgbox list?

Update: I getting different data when I manually set CityName and use .GetList at te same time.

Example:

str = a.GetList(Main.ss,"Any Title Here",True) '>>> in main.ss defined city is Hawaii
a.CityName="Prijedor,Republika Srpska,Bosnia And Herzegovina"

After this I get Temp from Prijedor city, other data from Hawaii?

thnx,

your example is working fine, but when I using in my project I cannot return any value:

   a.Initialize("a")
      a.ApiKey="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ' I entered my api corectly
      a.CityName="Prijedor"
      Msgbox(a.CCTempCelsius,"Weather")

EDIT: I found a problem. I using SDKVersion=14. When remove it form Manifest editor then working fine. Any option to keep runing on this targetSDKVersion?
