View attachment 14755 View attachment 14754 View attachment 16846 Hi guys, ICOSWorldForecast is here.


It's a pleasure to introduce the new library of weather forecast.

The zip include:

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.


RENAME:
ICOSWorldForecast2.71.part1.zip and ICOSWorldForecast2.71.part2.zip

TO:
ICOSWorldForecast2.71.part1.rar and ICOSWorldForecast2.71.part1.rar

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.

You must register to obtain the new key, otherwise you will get error.

Use the address below to register.

Hi Laurent, u r right I'm so sorry about this inconvenience but did u tried my demo? it work to u.

No worries Giuseppe it's me who had does a mistake.
That teach me that we must pay attention to survey all changes between two versions.
It's not to you to ask forgiveness already you work for us.

Yes your example work fine and it's from it that i discover my mistake.
Now both work fine, your and mine

Grazie Giuseppe.

Ciao.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Laurent, Grazie a te this library goes more better.

Now I'm reducing the code and take the obsolete code away to make it more fast to get the response from the server.

 

[MarcoRome]

Hi Giuseppe, i have this problem:

a.Initialize("a")  
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation

give me error... or for better explain return citta empty.
if i add this code i haven't problem:

a.Initialize("a")  
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uxdbr6XXXXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    a.CityName="rome"
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation

WhY ?
i want give my city with gps ( the code return coordinate right )
Thank you for all.

Ciao Giuseppe ho questo problema:

[CODE]a.Initialize("a")
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation

[/CODE]

Questo codice torna errore dandomi lat come errore, differentemente se aggiungo prima la linea " a.CityName="rome" " è ok.
Ora vorrei prelevare tramite la funzione LatAndLong direttamente la posizione del tipo:

    a.Initialize("a")  
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uxdbrXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation
    ImageView1.Bitmap = a.FCIcon(0)
    Label1.Text = "Firenight " & a.CCTempFahrenheit
    Label2.Text = "Celsius " & a.CCTempCelsius & "°"
  
    ImageView2.Bitmap = a.FCIcon(1)
    Label3.Text = "Tempo domani"
    Label4.Text =  a.FindLocation

. Potresti cortesemente farmi un esempio ?
Grazie mille e ottima libreria

Hi Giuseppe, i have this problem:

a.Initialize("a")
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation

.../....

Hello,

Giuseppe has already responded to this, it's necessary you test if the Website respond before.
You must have your own account on http://www.geonames.org/ and use it with declaration like, a.SetGeoUserName ="your_own_user_account".
Take a look at this message of Giuseppe, http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/icosworldforecast-3-10.21852/page-17#post-247863

We discuss about several time before, even if other problem has appeared that still necessary you use your own account.
It's probably why you have an issue.
Take a look at the example attached, all things needed are inside, don't forget to put your own apiKey on WWO and your username on the geonames.org

Regards.

 

[MarcoRome]

Thank's

 

[JakeBullet70]

Thanks again lonleystar. This lib gets better and better. Just converted my app to V3.10 and all is great!

@ MarcoRome

Hi Giuseppe, i have this problem:

a.Initialize("a")
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation

give me error... or for better explain return citta empty.
if i add this code i haven't problem:

a.Initialize("a")
    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uxdbr6pnwahqxywf"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    a.CityName="rome"
    lat = a.Latitude
    lon = a.Longitude
    a.LatAndLong = lat & "," & lon
    citta = a.FindLocation

Hello,

You're right i have read so quick last time and unfortunatly i don't use the IP adress in this example.
Seems this old function 'a.LatAndLong' don't work now, you must replace it by 'a.WeaterByLocalIpAddress=a.LocalIpAddress' .
Or 'a.WeaterByLocalIpAddress=lat & "," & lon' but you use 2 variables for nothing unless you use them after.

In your second case the Website respond because the city is iniitalized.

But my first response still correct you need to follow what Giuseppe say about the geoname user account.

Good prog.

Regards.

 

[MarcoRome]

Now yes . Thank's i will try

 

[MarcoRome]

Hi all.
The app work fine but in sometime give me this error:
"An error has occurred in sub: java.lang.NullPointerException: Error Parsing Weather!!!!"

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Marco, sorry if i answer late, if u have more then 1 key check the demo Laurent posted in post #344 and have a look in this post http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/icosworldforecast-3-10.21852/page-17#post-249702

 

[MarcoRome]

Thank you for your response.
"Error Parsing Weather!!!!" i see when internet connect i lost. So i resolve with server.GetMyIP = "127.0.0.1" ....
I have one question for you
With your library, you can intercept using gps the place and pass that parameter or you must always enter a.CityName="example name city".
Thank you

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Marco, use this a.CityName = a.FindLocation it work with gps or wifi

 

[MarcoRome]

Thank you Giuseppe i will try.
Good day

 

[lonleystar]

U too

 

[MarcoRome]

Hi Giuseppe i try a.CityName = a.FindLocation but without success:

a.Initialize("a")

    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    a.CityName = a.FindLocation
    Label1.Text = "Firenight " & a.CCTempFahrenheit
    Label2.Text = "Celsius " & a.CCTempCelsius & "°"
    ImageView1.Bitmap = a.FCIcon(0)

if i utilize a.CityName = "New York" ' or another place work without problem:

a.Initialize("a")

    a.ApiKey="m7sutqf7uXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    a.Initialize("a")
    a.CityName = "New York" ' or another place
    Label1.Text = "Firenight " & a.CCTempFahrenheit
    Label2.Text = "Celsius " & a.CCTempCelsius & "°"
    ImageView1.Bitmap = a.FCIcon(0)

what you think ?
Thank you

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Marco, this is just a way to get the location but u can use different way.

Sub Button1_click
If a.isWiFiConnected = True Then
    If a.FindLocation.Length > 0 Then
 
      a.CityName = a.FindLocation
      StartActivity(Forecast)

    End If
End If
End Sub

Or

Sub Button1_click
If a.isWiFiConnected = True Then
   If a.FindLocation.Length > 0 Then
     Try
      a.CityName = a.FindLocation
      StartActivity(Forecast)
     Catch
       ToastMessageShow(" Probably server error!! ",True)
     End Try
    End If
End If
End Sub

 

[MarcoRome]

Hi Giuseppe i already try this way . The internet connection work ( infact if you put in a.City = "name city" work very well and show me temperature ico ..etc. ) i think that is a.Findlocation taht have problem because is null as value.
I use Library ICOSWorldForecast 2.84.

 

[MarcoRome]

Hi Giuseppe look this movie. One particolar thing happen. Into sCityNames is right value / place
Can i get this value ????

www.queenandroid.com/download/test_icon.mp4

Thank you very much

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Marco, did u tried the first option? let me know.

Sub Button1_click
If a.isWiFiConnected = True Then
    If a.FindLocation.Length > 0 Then
      a.CityName = a.FindLocation
      StartActivity(Forecast)

    End If
End If
End Sub

P.S.

I'll implement a broadcast receive as soon as i finish the new GridView.



Which kind of program u use to record the video.

 

[MarcoRome]

Yes Giuseppe but as you see in movie in the findlocation.Length is null and so jump .... i use for movie camtasia studio 8.
it is possibile get sCityNames, because there is correct value.
this is my email info@queenandroid.com
Thank you again
