Weather app uses REST
https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-weather-app-on-android--cms-21587
We can get the current weather details of any city formatted as JSON using the OpenWeatherMap API. In the query string, we pass the city's name and the metric system the results should be in.
For example, to get the current weather information for Canberra, using the metric system, we send a request to http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Canberra&units=metric
The response we get back from the API looks like this:

Create a new Java class and name it RemoteFetch.java. This class is responsible for fetching the weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API.
We use the
HttpURLConnection class to make the remote request. The OpenWeatherMap API expects the API key in an HTTP header named x-api-key. This is specified in our request using the setRequestProperty method.
We use a
BufferedReader to read the API's response into a StringBuffer. When we have the complete response, we convert it to a JSONObject object.
As you can see in the above response, the JSON data contains a field named
cod. Its value is 200 if the request was successful. We use this value to check whether the JSON response has the current weather information or not.Weather API
Our weather API is simple, clear and free. We also offer higher levels of support, please see our paid plan options. To access the API you need to sign up for an API key if you are on a free or paid plan.
Current weather data
API doc Subscribe- Access current weather data for any location including over 200,000 cities
- Current weather is frequently updated based on global models and data from more than 40,000 weather stations
- Data is available in JSON, XML, or HTML format
- Available for Free and all other paid accounts
