# Open Weather App with Android Architecture Components
This app written in Java uses the new [Android Architecture Components](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/)
: Livedata, ViewModel, and Room.
Retrieves **current weather** using [OpenWeatherMap current API](https://openweathermap.org/current) free account.
## Introduction
### The final architecture
The following diagram shows all the modules in our recommended architecture and how they interact with one another:
### Functionalities
The app is composed of 3 main screens.
#### ShowWeatherFragment
Presents a viewpager with the description of the weather of every city the user had selected.
A job scheduled allows this fragment reflects the current weather data through synchronization with OpenWeatherMap servers every 1 hour.
#### ManageCitiesFragment
This fragment displays all the weathers of the cities the user had selected.
#### AddCityFragment
Allows the user to add a new city of interest to know details of the weather. To add a new city the user has two options:
1) Add his current location
using FusedLocationProvider, making a request to get the current weather by city coordinates;
2) Search by the name of the city of interest, making a request to get the current weather by city name.
