NOAA-weather
============
Java / Android code for collecting, parsing, and organizing weather data collected from [NOAA](http://www.noaa.gov/),
specifically, the [NOAA REST API](http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/rest.php)
Usage
=====
[JavaDocs are here](http://morganconrad.github.io/NOAA-weather/)
Getting and parsing the data
----------------------------
1. Create a NOAAWeather
NOAAWeather weather = new NOAAWeather();
2. Set the dates of interest using one form of setDates
weather.setDates(new Date(), 10); // next 10 days
3. Set the location
weather.setLocation(39.096, -94.595); // Kansas City here I come
4. By default, this will obtain data for min and maximum temperature, temperature, and general conditions.
If you want more, e.g. wind direction and wind gusts, call addNDFDParameters.
weather.addNDFDParameters("wdir", "wgust");
5. You are ready to call(). This may take a few seconds so you might want to use an Executor etc.
weather.call();
Using the results
-----------------
1. There is some "metadata" in a Map. Current keys are enumerated in
String theirURL = weather.getMoreInfo().get(NOAAWeather.MoreInfoKeys.OUT_URL.name());
2. You can obtain all data for the time period, for a certain measurement, as an NDFDSeries
NDFDSeries allMaxTs = weather.getNDFDSeries(NDFD.maxt);
3. More to come...
Example Code
----------
NOAAWeather weather = new NOAAWeather();
weather.setDates(new Date(), 10); // next 10 days
weather.setLocation(39.096, -94.595); // Kansas City here I come, YMMV
weather.addNDFDParameters("wdir", "wgust");
weather.call();
... more needed on what to do here ...
String theURL = weather.getMoreInfo().get(NOAAWeather.MoreInfoKeys.OUT_URL.name());
NDFDSeries allMaxTs = weather.getNDFDSeries(NDFD.maxt);
