Get weather info without gps
I can't have the weather info withot gps.. The code to find my location and weather is this:
private boolean isRuntimePostGingerbread() {
return Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB;
}
public void loadWeathercard() {
//Set the date
SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
citylb = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.citybox);
//Check if the custom weather place preference is enabled
if (!sharedPrefs.getBoolean("weather_customlocationcheck", false)) {
citylb.setText(getString(R.string.rilevamento));
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
/**
* Check the provider exists before registering for updates from it
* */
if (locationManager.getAllProviders().contains(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER))
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 2000, 0, this);
if (locationManager.getAllProviders().contains(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 0, this);
locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} else {
//Get the custom city, refresh the city label and get the weather
citylb.setText(sharedPrefs.getString("weather_customlocation", getString(R.string.location_null)));
getWeather((String) citylb.getText());
}
}
/**
* Function to check if the device is online
*/
/**
* Default method
*/
public Boolean isOnline() {
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo ni = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (ni != null && ni.isConnected()){
return true;
// This is method suggested.. Have i use this?
}
return false;
}
private void getWeather(String location) {
if (isOnline()) {
Log.d("YWeatherGetter4a", "onCreate");
YahooWeatherUtils yahooWeatherUtils = YahooWeatherUtils.getInstance();
yahooWeatherUtils.queryYahooWeather(getApplicationContext(), location, this); // Basta mettere la location presa dalle preferences
} else
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sorry, no connection available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
/**

public void gotWeatherInfo(final WeatherInfo weatherInfo) {

}
//citylb = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.citybox);
//if (addresses.size() > 0) return addresses.get(0).getLocality();
}
}
Now, what i need it's have a "manual" location.. I tried to change the "loation" here:
yahooWeatherUtils.queryYahooWeather(getApplicationContext(), location, this);
using a string like:
yahooWeatherUtils.queryYahooWeather(getApplicationContext(), "New York", this);
but doesn't work... any idea?

If you use Googleplay services you can get your location without a GPS. It seems to default to sources such as cell towers and known wifi locations. Bonus if the device actually has a gps and the gps is turned on google play services will use it but it won't do the annoying please turn on gps so this will work perfectly fine for your application. The first fix is really fast too.
public class KmlReader extends ActionBarActivity implements
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener
{
...
if (locationManager == null) {
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.addGpsStatusListener(this);
}
* Called by Location Services when the request to connect the client
* finishes successfully. At this point, you can request the current
* location or start periodic updates
*/
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle dataBundle) {
if (action_track) {
if (mLocationRequest == null) {
// Create a new global location parameters object
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
// Set the update interval
mLocationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL);
// Use high accuracy
mLocationRequest
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
// Set the interval ceiling to one minute
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
}
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this);
} else {
stopLocationUpdates();
}
}
and magically the location comes into this method.
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

Searching for YahooWeatherUtils, I found http://www.codota.com/android/scenarios/52fcbdbbda0ae4ff7532748f/com.google.android.gms.location.LocationClient?tag=dragonfly
Their suggestion is:
Location location = locationClient.getLastLocation();
YahooWeatherUtils ywu = YahooWeatherUtils.getInstance();
if PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity()).getBoolean("weatherUseCurrentLocation", true) && location != null) {
ywu.queryYahooWeather(getActivity(), location , this);
} else {
String city = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity()).getString("weatherCity", "Vancouver Canada");
ywu.queryYahooWeather(getActivity(), city , this);
}
So, it seems that the function queryYahooWeather can get lat/long or city name. You just need enough information for city name.
