Hi.

IMPORTANT: WeaY updated to 1.7 and 2.x - please update the app in order to get it working with latest Yahoo Changes.

I am tinking about free app which will get weather from free sources and will broadcast data over bluetooth in order to share it to other apps.

Whole concept works via sending broadcast intents with extras and pairing it to other apps.

USER INFO:

Now you can get it even easier!
Just enable: Use Google Weather
and enable: Send weather info via Minimal
then in Minimal disable the weather updates
That's it! :)

WeaY requires two infos.
1) Data Prefix - this one is application specific you fill find it in WeaY or your application / watch face
2) Pairing password (password has to be the same for WeaY and receiving watch face application)

DEVELOPER INFO:
Extras:
prefix is set in app config
pair password is set in config too

"PAIR" -> pairing pass for apps -> String
broadcasted data:
preifx + "_weather_loc" -> String
prefix + "_weather_desc" -> String
prefix + "_weather_short_desc" -> String
prefix + "_weather_temp" -> Float (temp in Kelvins)
prefix + "_weather_sunset" -> Long
prefix + "_weather_sunrise" -> Long

Action for receiver:
"external_data_weather.sent.broadcast"

That's it :)
User can run separate WeaY, free app and get Weather from for example Yahoo.
Then other apps can catch the broadcasted data.
More app can benefit from one source of this data: power savings, network traffic savings and etc...

It's just a concept but looks working for example for Android Wear Watch Faces :)

I'm trying to understand what to type to get the sunset to show up on my phone. Can I get some help with this, please? I've been unable to get it to work.

Thanks.

Hi, this one wouldn't show the sunrise, sunset unfortunately.

but there would be many apps doing that.
including weather widgets, just type: weather sunrise in Play Store search , it should help.

Thanks :)

Maybe you could add an ability to request weather from any API? All things to do is give a user to enter the API URL and configure the answer format... Or put this project on GitHub.... I'm searching for the way to see a custom weather source on the watch... The weather services work very different for different parts of the world...
