[App][Free] Tiny Weather

[sylsau]

Hello,

I made this post to present you a free weather application named Tiny Weather and available here on Google Play Store : https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ils?id=com.ssaurel.tinyweather&token=KaffWQ1T

Tiny Weather purposes weather for daily and forecasts on 16 next days. UI is simple and elegant with a blue theme.

Some screenshots :

* Current Weather

* Forecasts on 16 next days

* Change city

* Use location action button to detect your city

* Misc

Don't hesitate to give me your feedbacks.

Thanks.

Hello,

I simply use Eclipse with ADT plugin provided by Google.

This application is the result of a video tutorial that I plan to update week after week on my Youtube channel. So, if you want to learn how to make that kind of application from scratch, you could follow the tutorial.
