Components

Your-local-weather is a great application that makes getting weather reports and weather forecasts very easy, simple and fast.

I have some suggestions that can make this application more useful to its users.

Proposal

It is of great benefit to me, and some other users out there that the application provides a means where i can easily share the weather report of my location to any body that i wish to share it with.

But unfortunately, this application doesn't provide a means where i can share the weather forecast of my location, and its not really pleasing to know.

Therefore, i am proposing that this application creates/provides a means where users can share the weather forecast to people that people that they wish to share it with.

Mockups / Examples

The developer can add a share button for forecasts reports to the application like this:

Benefits

Including this feature to this application will avail the users with the opportunity to share the weather forecast of their location.

From email:
The direction of wind is also important .No option for this.Thank you for the app.Is realy good.

I accidentally have system location services unfunctional. Set Local MLS but the app keeps asking System Location permission and fails to determine the location.

Hi all,
First of all thanks for the app! I really like it.
So, in the following screenshot you can see Graphs window with light theme, but the Dark theme is enabled in the settings:

Thanks.

I live in Vienna, which is a very popular name for a town. When I search for it, I get many results for "Vienna US". Please add more information to the search results, such as geo coordinates, so I can determine which of the many "Vienna US" results is where I actually am. There's no indication which one I chose.

Fortunately, there is a town very close to me with a unique name.

Request from email

Would it be possible to have a detail of the weather evolution during the day?
You show morning/afternoon/evening but it could be good to see every 2/3 hours what will be the temperature AND the sky (rainy/cloudy/sunny).
It's good to see in the morning when during the day we can expect rain, for example.
This kind of detailed evolution is visible on Google and Duckduckgo weather tools on web browsers, but also for example on the Android open-source app Forecastie.

As YLW shows the same weather info that's on OWM site I think it's worth adding intent for URLs like https://openweathermap.org/?q=Almaty%2C+KZ
Thanks!

please make it possible to quickly change the views (current, daily, graphs) by swiping left/right from view to view like browsing tabs.
not sure, if this conflicts with material design, though.

Same issue as qqq3/good-weather#31

This didn't happen while I had the widget updating every 15 minutes using "wake display". Now that I've switched to update every hour and "no wake up strategy", tapping my widget no longer opens ylw, and the widget theme is not what I have it set to. Nor has it updated for many hours.

Fresh install from F-droid. On Norwegian Bokmål locale, (and i suspect others) one has to click default, and then restart for the system language to be utilized.

There seems to have been a regression of sorts that appeared in release 3.0.16.

I have YLW configured on my tablet for manual location and manual update of the weather (as it is rarely more than a few feet/meters from my easy chair). Ever since release 3.0.16, manual update of the weather by swiping down is very, very, very slow! It used to take maybe a couple seconds, now the "busy" indicator (the spinning wheel) goes for several minutes or more.

Without digging into the code, my guess is something is perhaps amiss with synchronization of the "busy" indicator with the actual update, download status.

A work around I discovered is to start the current weather update by swiping down, then go into the menu and switch to either "daily forecast" or "graphs" which update quickly, then go back to "current weather". The spinning wheel is gone, and the updated current weather info is there. That fact in itself might help debug the issue...

Release 3.0.15 worked fine, the problem appeared in 3.0.16.

Hi!
Please consider to add location choice for the "Daily Forecast" and "Graphs" menus.
As of now, it is hard to say what location is used in these menus.
Thank you.

As in Forecastie: swipe to the left/right gets you to graphs and forecast.
Really feel miss the quick access to forecast

(from email:)
Why does current weather say 4F and the daily forecast say 34F? Going by how it feels the daily forecast is more correct.
But... the weather app that came on the phone (uses accuweather) says 25F and that feels the most correct..going by how long I can stand outside.

I checked "hide weather description" to see what it does, then unchecked it. Now the app crashes and can't be used.

I was able to replicate this after clearing data and repeating the following steps:

1. Go to settings, toggle setting
2. Back to main page, refresh data

Repeat above until app crashes upon start and can't be used.

Good-Weather's value is 14, yours is 19 from the initial commit. So I can't figure out what commit did it and why.
I wonder if it was necessary and will it be possible to use on my JB tablet?

Hello ,@thuryn I want contribute to your-local-weathe r so i designed a new logo for your-local-weather and it's free.

I hope you like it. If you like it, I will send you pull request, editable files/original source and .png format files. If there's something you want to change, I'll do it.

if you want i will send you my designed

Really I'm not fully know what I'm talking about.

In the LinegeOS it's possible to select default weather app (at same place where other defaults like a browser lives). But it doesn't allow to select your local weather as default weather app and provides search request "lineageosweatherprovider" in available markets.

I like your app very much, especially with the constant notification showing the weather. However, it looks like the notification doesn't appear until the update time chosen. So, if I adjust the settings or update the app, the notification doesn't appear until an hour after I start it. My update period is an hour.

Please add a cancel button so I can tell the app to stop trying to find the current location. It just runs and runs for me, so I basically have to kill the app. However, when I restart it, the current location is there. It seems to work in the end, but never finishes by itself.

I'm running Resurrection Remix 5.8.5, which is based on LineageOS 14. I do not have any GApps installed.

Hey, happy user of the app here!

The widget works perfectly fine so I almost never open the app "properly". I just did for the first time in ages, and being greeted by a detailed tutorial was a pleasant surprise! A few settings that I was not aware of were explained, and the app is now better tweaked to what I want it to do. Love it :)

There were a few spelling errors, for example: "cashing found locations" instead of "caching found locations". Also a few quirky idioms.

I figured "Hey, I can help there! I'll just look up the text files in the source, edit them and send a pull request!" (mind you, I'm not an Android dev - building this from scratch would be too much hassle. But editing some writing in plain text should be easy). However, I can't find the text source with a quick browse, where should I look?

Also, if you need translations, I can help with Dutch :)

Please include miles/hour when selecting Fahrenheit. Inches of mercury would also be nice for the barometric pressure. Us USA-based users will appreciate this. :-)

Hi all,
I've noticed that weather icon shows moon when it's already day:

In the screenshot above the time is 10.17am (sunrise time is 7.02am), but the icon still has moon instead of sun.
Other apps show icon correctly.
Thanks.

Please add unit km/h for wind speed.

Expected behavior

I Expected that when i opened "your local weather" app and active GPS location to search current city automatically and show its whether as you click on find your location whether button.

Actual behavior

When I opened "your local weather" app and active my phone GPS that will help the application to access location and when i click on search wheather with GPS button automatically He has searched my current location but nothing was found then i cancel searching and again click on search wheather button and this time the button will not work.

How to reproduce

1. Download "Your Local Weather" App from the play store

2. Lunched the app and Run it

3. Access your GPS Location

4. Now open app and click on find current location wait for a while and cancel it

5. Again click on find current location

6. Note the bug

• Your local weather Version 3.0.8

• Browser: HUAWEI Mate 10 lite
• Operating system: Android version 7.0

Recording Of The Bug

Hi,
Currently YLW allows to cycle through 3 preset locations.
Could you please consider to increase the amount of locations?
Thank you.

Greetings, I am mayowa , a github promoter, saw your project and wish to write for you on FAQ and About us in github for more clarity and simplicity in understanding of your local weather.

Can you please add UV index data to the app?

https://openweathermap.org/api/uvi

Not complete view with bigger font in vertical view (in German version), maybe there shoud be a line wrap. See screen shot.

Would love a simple feature that only shows the temperature in the notification bar. The notification right now shows a weather icon and needs to be expanded. Temperature is especially nice with always on displays since you can just glance at the display and see the temperature without even touching the phone.

Is there a way to never update the weather infos (except if I manually press refresh)?
I couldn't find the option

thanks!

Hi,
Please consider to add an option to add custom API key for OpenWeatherMap queries.
Thank you!

Everything looks fine on my two stupid phones, but on my (relatively larger screen) Nexus 7 tablet (size similar to the mini PearPad), the column, field that shows the time of day on the forecast page is not quite wide enough, and the text wraps when clearly there is plenty of unused room that could be allocated.

Screenshot shown below;

Just creating any widget crashes the app

Hello!

I'm not sure what several of the functions in this app do. I think it would be beneficial if you described what each option does somewhere, if only in there README.md on this GitHub page.

To start, why does this app need to "make and manage phone calls"?

What does the address cache do?

What do each of the widget "wake up strategies" do?

What do each of the location and address source options do? What is the significance of these options?

Thanks!

This might be semi-related to #21.

I run LineageOS and only turn on features like bluetooth and GPS when I want them, so my GPS is disabled most of the time.

When I have my GPS disabled and I open the app, it nags me to go into phone settings and re-enable GPS. It's easy enough to get around this by just tapping somewhere not on the nag dialog, but it's annoying. When I want to update the location, I'll turn on GPS and press the 'detect location' button.

I tried telling it not to update the location, but in that mode the 'detect location' button disappears and it resets the location to london.

I can see how prompting the user to turn on GPS might be useful, but I'd like a setting to turn off that nag screen so that I can just update my location manually and not be bugged to enable GPS every time I want to see a forecast.

Thanks for your time :)

I have no concrete proof, but I suspect that the update by accelerometer method is a huge battery drain.

Strangely, Android doesn't seem to record any useful data in the battery section of settings, but I have observed a rapid decrease in battery life when Your Local Weather updated to use accel by default.

Switch back to my preferred setting, "update every hour", and my battery life improves greatly.

Maybe accel update shouldn't be the default?

Greetings, I'm creating a FAQ for this cool project, will be ready in a day or two, I hope you're cool with it?

I was using the widget for a few days and it worked fine. After I changed the 'Widget theme' in the settings the widget started misbehaving. At first it turned back to the dark theme (only temporarly issue). Then it didn't open the app when clicking on the widget anymore (only temporarly issue).
Finally the widget stay blanks - no conent at all besides the update arrow.

I've cleared the cache of the application without any luck.

Could be a coincidence, but just in case it's not:

I have the widget set to "wake up with display" every 15min. I wonder if the routine meant to wake up the display conflicted with a phone call on top of the lock screen?

Android 8.1 / pixel 2 xl

it would be helpful to have a setting that defines a default view when launching the app (current, daily, graphs).

if you could distinguish if it was initiated by menu or widget, that's even better.
