Good job!

For the Weather widget (you can remove later if you don't want it).

You can use my developer's API just to try things out. Check your PM.

Go to Open Weather Maps and search for your city. Example below for Sofia. In the example there are two weather stations in Sofia, indicated by the different latitude and longitude. Depending on the size of your city, etc., there may be only one or even more choices. If you need to choose and don't know your GPS coordinates you can go here and find out what they are (or maybe ask your phone). In any case, write down your best guess for the latitude (first number) and longitude. That's all you need.

Turn off wifi if it is on. Tap on the NSTWeather icon in the drawer. The app initializes and the Settings page is displayed (see below). You need to carefully fill in the latitude, longitude and API key. Check the API key twice to be sure it is correct. Data cannot be retrieved without a valid key.

Check the rest of the boxes or not, depending on how you want the weather data displayed. In the lower section you need to check both boxes for the app to function. Then tap on the bottom section (Manual Weather). The Settings screen closes.

If you watch, you will see wifi come on for perhaps 30 seconds. Then it will go off. This same thing will happen automatically at 0300 local time each day (assuming the device is on). About 3-5 minutes later you will see a notification in the status bar. Tap there and it should say that you are ready to construct the widget (this notification only appears the first time).

To construct the widget, repeat the steps for the Greeting widget, except the dimension is Minimalistic Text Horizontal 4x2. Once you are in the app name the widget "Weather" and then go to the end of the settings and restore "Weather". Then Menu>OK and you're done.

The widget appears on the screen in the wrong place. You need to drag it into position to the right of the Greeting widget. If it won't go there you may have the resizing of the Greeting widget extended too far to the right (too much white space on the right in the "resize" view). But if it slides into place, you are done!

What if your city is incorrect? This can happen sometimes depending on how OWM handles the GPS coordinates. If you have that issue, we can fix it.

Once the widget is set up, a tap on it opens the 5-day forecast panel. It is possible to access the settings page if you need to for some reason from the cog-wheel at the upper right of the panel. You can close the panel with the "x" at the upper left.

The widget updates every 3 hours and also changes within 15 minutes of sunrise or sunset (some condition icons, such as very cloudy, do not show any difference between night and day). All this happens from the

stored

data that was retrieved at 0300, so no further wifi action until the next morning.

If for some reason the app cannot reach OWM on a given day, you will receive a notification that weather update has failed. In this case, all the stored data will be shifted over one column. You can just leave it like that or you can go into the Settings page and try a manual retrieval (the bottom box).

If the device has been off for more than 5 days, when it boots you will get a notification that the weather data is expired. Tapping on what remains of the weather widget will start a manual retrieval of data.

That's it!

Almost done!!
