Reactive SimpleWeather

Reactive SimpleWeather is a demo android weather app utilizing latest android open source technologies and api services, it is built with latest Android Studio Beta and gradle.

OpenWeatherMap Web API

Reactive SimpleWeather is fetching local weather based on geo location from OpenWeatherMap.org, you can fetch your current local weather data using the longitude and latitude, the result would be like:

{ "coord":   {"lon":-122.08, "lat":37.41},
  "sys":     {"type":1, "id":451, "message":0.4839, "country": "United States of America", "sunrise":1406812347, "sunset":1406863010},
  "weather": [{"id":802,"main":"Clouds","description":"scattered clouds","icon":"03d"}],
  "base":    "cmc stations",
  "main":    {"temp":296.81,"pressure":1015,"humidity":77,"temp_min":288.15,"temp_max":303.15},
  "wind":    {"speed":2.6,"deg":0},
  "clouds":  {"all":40},
  "dt":      1406833786,
  "id":      5375480,
  "name":    "Mountain View",
  "cod":     200
}

Retrofit integrated with RxJava

Following Functional Reactive Programming Paradigm, Reactive SimpleWeather uses Retrofit integrated with RxJava to fetch weather data asynchronously.

Card Library

Finally, Reactive SimpleWeather is rendering current weather in a UI Card using Card Library, it is similar to the UI Style of the latest Google Now.
