B4A Library ICOSWorldForecast 3.50

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.

World Weather Online - Welcome to the World Weather Online Developer Network!

don't forget to replace the ApiKey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" with your private key

This demos, I made with my galaxy tab 7 600x1024

any question or bugs please report to me.

big Thx to warwound for is fantastic auto-generated reference.

Work Around for 5 day forecast

Hi All, for those interested i wrote this little sub to fix an issue when getting the 5 day forecast with this library, i'm not sure if there's anything i did wrong but i could not seem to find a way to do this with the library so i decided to do it this way.

Basically when you use this code like this

   l1.Text=a.Full5DayName(0)&CRLF&a.FCDate(0)
   l3.Text=a.Full5DayName(1)&CRLF&a.FCDate(1)
   l5.Text=a.Full5DayName(2)&CRLF&a.FCDate(2)
   l7.Text=a.Full5DayName(3)&CRLF&a.FCDate(3)
   l9.Text=a.Full5DayName(4)&CRLF&a.FCDate(4)

the name of the day doesn't match the Date, check the image below!


I needed a way for the days to match the dates so here it is, if anyone has a more efficient and cleaner way to fix this i'd like to hear from you!

here is how i fixed this issue!

Sub GenerateDays
Dim day11 As Int
Dim daycount As Int 
Dim dayslist As List 
Dim today As Long
dayslist.Initialize
dayslist.AddAll(Array As String("Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"))
today = DateTime.Now
day11 = DateTime.GetDayOfWeek(today)
daycount = day11 - 1
For i = 0 To 3
day.Add(dayslist.Get(daycount))
daycount = daycount + 1
If daycount = 7 Then
daycount = 0
day.Add(dayslist.Get(daycount))
daycount = daycount + 1
End If
Next
Return day
End Sub

and here is how i call the sub and fill in the 5 day forecast!

Dim Nextdays as list
GenerateDays
nextdays.Initialize 
nextdays.AddAll(Array As String(day.Get(0), day.Get(1), day.Get(2), day.Get(3), day.Get(4)))


day1.text = nextdays.Get(0)&CRLF&ics.FCDate(0)
day2.text = nextdays.Get(1)&CRLF&ics.FCDate(1)
day3.text = nextdays.Get(2)&CRLF&ics.FCDate(2)
day4.text = nextdays.Get(3)&CRLF&ics.FCDate(3)
day5.text = nextdays.Get(4)&CRLF&ics.FCDate(4)

and here's a screenshot of how it should look!


Hope this helps someone

Cheers,
Walter

Hi walter, Why would you create a routine when already is there Short5DayName?

Use Short5DayName instead Full5DayName that is all.

Hi Lonelystar, the routine i created is not to get the shortnames for the days, it is simply to make the days match with the dates, look at both images and you will see what i mean!

Problem under Android 2.2

I have now bought a used Smartphone Dellwith Android 2.2.2 for testing.
On the hardware with Android 2.2.2 , the library is not run, even the demos not run.

The APP is force closed.

when i take out wetter.Initialize("wetter")
the APP runs korrekt.

It may be that the problem is on my local PC? Java installation?
