The Weather Search App is a robust Android application 📱 that serves weather information ☁️🌤️🌩️ for a specific location using the OpenWeatherMap API.

• 🔍 Search for weather information based on city name.
• 🌡️ View current weather conditions including temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.
• 📍 Shows data for the user's current location by default.
• 🌓 Dark mode support for better usability in low-light environments.
• 🎨 Material3 (Material You) design for a modern and consistent user experience.
• 🔀 Support for both portrait and landscape orientations.
• 🧪 Unit testing.
• 🛠️ Integration testing.
• 🖥️ UI Tests.

To smoke up the Weather Search App on your local machine 💻 , follow these steps:

1. 🔑 Git clone this repository to your local machine using git clone https://github.com/ahmed3elshaer/weather-search.git
2. 🖥️ Open the project in Android Studio.
3. 🏗️ Build and run the project on an emulator or physical device.

1. Upon launching the app, you'll be greeted with a search bar.
2. 🔐 The app will request the user to grant the location permission.
3. 🌍 The app will display the current weather conditions for the user's current location.
4. 📝 Enter the name of the city for which you want to check the weather and press the search button.
5. 📊 The app will display the current weather conditions for the specified location or the city name in the case of search.

The Weather Search App hinges on the following technologies:

• Kotlin - The programming language used for crafting the app.
• Jetpack Compose - A modern toolkit to build native UI.
• Android Jetpack - A suite of libraries, tools, and guidance for developers.
• Hilt - A robust dependency injection library for Android.
• ViewModel - A class storing and managing UI-related data.
• Play Services Location - APIs for accessing location data.
• Retrofit - A type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java.
• GLIDE - A fast and efficient image loading library for Android.
• Material3 (Material You) Components for Android - A library providing reusable UI components.
• Coroutines - A library for asynchronous programming.
• Kotlin Flow - For asynchronous data handling.

This project adopts the robust MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture pattern, which provides a clear separation of concerns. The user interface is separated from the business logic, providing the merits of modular and testable code.

• DATA: Contains the data sources and repositories for fetching weather data from OpenWeatherMap API and retrieving the user's current location.
• DOMAIN: Contains the business logic, use cases, and structural models for the application. e.g., the Weather model and the GetWeatherUseCase.
• UI: Composes the visual interfaces and view models of the application.

Further, the application features the single activity architecture paradigm, adhering to the modern Android development practices.

The project exhibits Google's recommended app architecture. It is divided into specific packages, ensuring clean code and easy navigation. This project doesn't necessitate the complexity of multi-module architecture; the package-based architecture has been deemed more suitable.
