 ABSTRACT
As a student enrolled in the P. K. Technical Campus, Chakan,
every semester we require to do a micro-project on any one topic in
the syllabus of the respective subjects. Hence, we have created a
project on Weather Application as the micro-project for the subject
MAD (22617).

The development of a weather application for Android is based on

several fundamental components. It begins with integrating data from
reputable sources to ensure the availability of accurate weather
information. Leveraging the device's GPS capabilities enables location-
based services, providing users with personalized weather forecasts
based on their current location. A user-friendly interface is crucial,
emphasizing usability and intuitive navigation.

Weather data is presented clearly using graphical representations

and textual descriptions for enhanced comprehension. The application
includes notification features to keep users informed about significant
weather events or changes. Customization options allow users to tailor
settings according to their preferences, including units of measurement
and notification preferences.

Accessibility features ensure inclusivity for all users, while

localization in multiple languages enhances usability worldwide. By
adhering to these principles, the Android weather application aims to
deliver a comprehensive solution, prioritizing user experience and
informed decision-making based on weather conditions.

 Introduction
Weather forecasting is the application of science and
technology to predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a
given location and time. Human beings have attempted to
predict the weather informally for millennia and formally
since the 19th century.
Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data
about the current state of the atmosphere at a given place and
using meteorology to project how the atmosphere will change.
There are a variety of end uses to weather forecasts. Weather
warnings are important forecasts because they are used to
protect life and property. Forecasts based on temperature and
precipitation are important to agriculture, and therefore to
traders within commodity markets. Temperature forecasts are
used by utility companies to estimate demand over coming
days. On an everyday basis, people use weather forecasts to
determine what to wear on a given day. Since outdoor
activities are severely curtailed by heavy rain, snow and wind
chill, forecasts can be used to plan activities around these
events, and to plan ahead and survive them. In 2009, the US
spent $5.1 billion on weather forecasting.

 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT –
The main significance of this micro-project is to understand
how an android application is built, perform operations in the
database, use Recycler View to show list of items and use
Alarm Manager and Broadcast Receiver to show reminder
notifications.

 SCOPE OF PROJECT –

The weather application micro project focuses on developing a

user-friendly digital tool to provide individuals with easy access to
accurate weather forecasts. Beginning with meticulous interface
design, the project emphasizes simplicity and clarity to ensure
intuitive navigation for users. Technical implementation involves
integrating weather APIs for data retrieval, enabling the application
to fetch and process weather information efficiently. Tailoring
forecasts to users' locations enhances relevance, achieved through
geolocation services or manual input. Visualization techniques,
including charts and graphs, present weather data comprehensively,
empowering users to make informed decisions. Additionally, the
application offers customizable features such as notification
preferences and language settings for enhanced user experience.
Thorough testing and documentation ensure reliability and
accessibility across various devices, cementing the project's goal of
delivering reliable weather updates seamlessly.

 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS –
1. Laptop or PC with minimum 8GB RAM and i5/i7 8th Gen
processor.

 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS –
1. Operating System - Windows 11
2. Android Studio Electric Eel 2022.1.1
3. Android Emulator – Small Phone API(Android 13)
