Short description:
Customizable and accurate weather prediction using statistics.

Description:

1. Accurate weather prediction using several weather sources, with the construction of statistics on the prediction accuracy for each source. In short - the program compares the current weather with what was previously predicted (hours and days ago). Based on this, statistics are generated and the user is shown data from those sources that have shown themselves to be the most accurate.

2. Made to look normal on both the tablet and the smartphone. The flexibility of the fragments in android allows you to change the representation of the program on the device quite strongly.

3. Localization, 6 languages, including Russian and Ukrainian.

4. Multiple views of weather information with fast switching between them (4 items for now - list, comparative table by data sources, weather maps and graphs). Weather by days (up to 10 days), by hours and extended information on the weather (both by day and by any hour).

5. The ability to compare data from different sources and show the accuracy of a specific source for future periods.

6. Widgets - while 3 different. The first 4x1 with resizable size and three types for 1x1 size. The second is the widget stack (android 3.0+), when you can scroll the widget by moving your finger. The third is a transparent widget with a constructor, where you can do what you need from ready-made blocks.

7. Multiple locations (millions) are supported. Auto location on GPS too.

8. Sunrise / Sunset and a bunch of other information. The best currently used algorithm is used with an accuracy of somewhere + -30 seconds between the dates from -4000 BC. and 4000 n., all calculations with maximum accuracy. As an example, I will say that what is on the NASA site is with the worst accuracy.

9. Phases of the Moon and current information on the Moon. Also the best and most recent algorithm from what I found.

10. A lot of options on settings - fonts, icons (4 sets), colors, formats, etc. Including tinctures of colors and transparency on widgets.

11. Very flexible update settings for those who have an expensive Internet.

12. Made to minimize the use of your device’s battery. No streams are constantly hanging in the background, nothing more.

13. 4 data sources currently, will be more.

14. Information display from built-in sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity).

The idea to write a program arose because I was tired of looking at weather predictions that are far from what is visible outside the window. The basic idea is to automatically select a data source based on statistics, i.e. as he predicted the weather both relatively recently and a longer period ago.

The statistics is quite flexible - i.e. It may be an option that tomorrow one weather predicts better the source, then another 2 days, and then a third better source. It was checked last winter and it seems that this approach very often makes sense.

I also really like the applications that can be customized as much as possible and which can be changed at any time.

And of course, I tried to do everything so that everything would be relatively simple and understandable for anyone.

The program is more or less stable, there are very few departures.

The program shows banners, everything is sensitive (politics, religion, sex, pills, gambling and other things) I turned off in banners.

Latest versions require Android 4.0+

More information on statistics under the spoiler

Quote (nezhensky @ 10.26.2013, 08:52) *
Tell me how to manage statistics?
or she herself is calculated
What interest at the top right?
and generally with statistics in detail who chooses the real readings outside the window?
------
1 and 2. Statistics is considered itself, automatically. Accordingly, it can not be managed. I am going to introduce a small control capability due to the fact that the user will be able to evaluate the "current weather". Because, firstly, sometimes weather sources and, according to the current weather, incorrect data provide. Secondly, what would the statistics be formed at the expense of user ratings, for example, when there is no Internet (and therefore there is no accurate current weather and it is formed at the expense of hourly) and the data have nothing more to compare with.

3. These percentages on the dialogue where you can compare the weather - and there are the current values ​​of statistics (assessment of the accuracy of this weather prediction). Statistics are stored in a different form, storing these numbers would be useless. Therefore, the display of statistics slows down the work of this dialog and it can be turned off in the “presentation settings” for this dialog (the “presentation settings” have different dialogs, although there is a common one).

4. Real readings “like outside the window” are obtained due to automatic weather stations. Most often they stand at airports, at meteorological stations, respectively; some weather fans set them up themselves. And most weather sources have somewhere the ability to connect a weather station (examplehttp://openweathermap.org/stations). When you get the current weather and this data on the current weather is fresh - it is assumed that this is the real weather.

The program automatically compares the current weather code (in the program, all weather is standardized and a specific code corresponds to each weather - therefore, it is easy to translate into different languages), temperature and some other things - so that the time was predicted for this (+ - 15 minutes by my) Accordingly, some estimate is obtained of how correct the prediction is. Moreover, separate estimates are formed for different prediction ranges, because it seems that some sources better predict the weather for this place in the short term, and some are better in the long-term (by the way, more often than not, predicting the weather for more than 10 days does not make sense. In such cases, corny takes historical data - the average for the last years). These are the periods of prediction range estimation in the program and several, respectively, separate statistics for each period. And for each location - again, separate data is generated.

Statistics is generated by week, the user is shown (and used to display data in widgets, graphs, and vertical list) - data from a statistically better weather source for the last weeks + with a smaller weighting factor for the last months + one-year, with an even smaller weighting factor. This is done because, firstly, data sources sometimes update their weather patterns, secondly, last winter I noticed that all winter was better than one data source, but in spring and summer, the second one came out on top. In general, this statistic is largely an experiment, but for now, what I see is that it all makes sense. And in any case, it is convenient to be able to compare the weather.

On Google Play, I rendered the program because over time I’ll add the ability to automatically upload my statistics to a server and it will be possible to:

1. To improve the accuracy of statistical data due to the data of other people living nearby. Yet each individual person watches the weather at different times and the data on the current weather also takes at different times.
2. Having gone somewhere to rest or work or to relatives - use the statistics of people living in the area. Due to the English and other localizations that will be soon - virtually the entire planet is covered :).

Well, to get a map with general statistics, maybe some weather sources do not make much sense at all :).

But all this wall of text is not visible to the user, he is given only the result - the statistical accuracy of the prediction in the form of numbers and the ready best statistics set of data on widgets and data views. Those. There is no need to bother, although it is possible to compare the weather from different sources - it can often be useful. By the way, this also shows some stupidity of most weather programs from the market which have only one source. But of course they also have the right to life.

Some management help:
The help built into the program is only in English, it will be in Russian too. Well, the main thing is there - almost everything responds to both a short press on an element and a long one. For example, add another location or edit the current one - by long pressing any of the tabs at the top of the program. View information on the clock - a short press on the information on the day, but if you press on the information on the day by long pressing - there will be an extended info on the day.

Additional Information

Fine tuning of the current weather source under the spoiler

It is highly recommended to connect the WeatherUnderground source - for Kiev, let's say it adds +15 sources of current weather, see instructions with pictures in the header.

1. Open the current weather view (in the button block at the bottom, these are mugs with the temperature inside)
2. Now go to the page for selecting the source of the current weather - to do this, click on the star at the top.
3. The page shows all possible sources with the data they provide. But because of the limitations of the free key - not everyone will have weather. Those sources where the weather is not visible - you can update manually or just go to the same place in a minute - another 6-8 sources will be updated.

4. With a simple tap, select the most appropriate source of weather. After that it will be used both in the program and on the widgets.

Or am I somehow "carelessly" shaking the city, or one of two

there it’s necessary to click on the city so that the widget configuration dialog appears. The name is unfortunately petty, so try a little higher for example to click. Although .. maybe the fact is that I unsuccessfully translated into Russian :) called a combobox to change the type of widget - "Data type" :) How is it on the screen under the spoiler?

By the way, to configure a 2x2 widget, you can also click on the content block with the name of the city.

Combobox to change the type of widget - "Data Type" How here on the screen under the spoiler.

The configuration dialog appears, but there is no “Data Type” combo box in it. After the "Background transparency" immediately go the button "Cancel" / "OK".

Do you watch this dialog after changing to 2x1?

If you look at the 4x1 widget, then everything will be as you write. If you still watch this dialog after resizing the widget to 2x1, then apparently a bug (although everything works on 3 devices where I can change the size). Try to change some current widget to 1x1 and after that look again at the widget configuration dialog.

Perhaps you have some kind of non-standard launcher ... then I will need the name of this launcher for tests).

then the bug. Write me please (you can in private) the name of the phone and the name of the launcher that you have. If it's a launcher, then everything should be simple. If the phone is more complicated.

Ps. It is also possible to try to reload the phone after resizing the widget in 2x1 and see if the dialog has appeared when the widget has already reloaded 2x1 immediately after rebooting, which means it should not be resized. If you don’t want to mess around, then wait until I fix this problem (but most likely after the holidays it will be).

Write the name of the phone and the name of the launcher that you have

Samsung Galaxy S III, Android 4.1.2, firmware stock I9300XXEMG4, no root.
Launcher is the native TouchWiz.

And yes, as a developer, I understand that users usually lie and carry nonsense about bugs. Therefore, here is a screenshot (compressed to 54K):

Isn't it better to make separate widgets right away? For example, on my LG Optimus L7 on a 4.3-inch screen in the Nova-Launcher, 9x9 grid - can you imagine what size the 1x1 widget will be? :)

I used a couple of months. Accuracy of 60 percent. For example, Yandex and others have already warned that it will rain, it has already passed, but it is still snowing.

I think that is still higher. At the time of your post prog was not 2 months on Google Play.

In addition, the accuracy is easy to see in the form of numbers in the program itself. I have 8 locations that I constantly look at - accuracy does not fall below 78%, on average 84-90%, for some locations accuracy is above 90% for a forecast of 4-5 days. Judging by the reviews of people on Google Play - they also have very good accuracy.

In general, apparently from OpenWeatherMap I need to refuse as soon as possible and add more new sources. Before NG, I think I’ll add a WeatherUnderground (since the source is paid, you’ll have to do something with your hands, but I’ll register with them for the developer key :)) and if I have time, then Foreca.

New build this week. The widget will be fixed (where the widget type is not shown), the temperature on sensations (with minus temperature values ​​not shown) and other problems that have become visible with the last build. Also add 3 more languages ​​and will show the wind speed in the graphs (at the request of users). After this build, I’ll take care of WeatherUnderground and long-delayed maps.

Apaxa @ 11/23/2013, 3:20 pm

Wouldn't the author be so kind as to cut such a scam from the program?

Yes, I would like to cut it out.

But for this I need a link to the source giving such banners. If you click on such a banner (sorry, I don’t know any other way to get the link) and send me (you can mail here) the link (website address where it goes) - then I will block it in admob and there will be no such scam anymore. The main thing is that it would not be Google Play :) You may need to click not on the central part of the banner, but on the button that appears on the right of it (like "Site").

Shl. The wind direction translated into Russian, corrected the same Russian in the configuration of the 4x1 widget - transparency and widget types. Build looks like tomorrow (waiting for translations), if something else from the little things - write.

In the market version 1.3.3 of November 19, 2013. Here in the header 1.3.2.

There was just a version with optional minor fixes - nothing fell on my test devices, but several users had problems. This version is in the subject line, I just did not ask the moderators to update the starting post.

In any case, the new version 1.3.4:

· Added 2 new languages ​​- Portuguese and German. Italian will be added in the next build.
В· Added a second type of widget for 4x1 and 5x1 widgets - weather by the hour. Switches via the widget configuration dialog (click on the city name on the widget) or when creating the widget.
В· Added graph for wind speed.
В· Fixed a problem when the temperature "on sensations" and the dew point was not shown at low temperatures.
· Fixed problem when it was impossible to change the type of widget on some devices. Unfortunately I didn’t check it on SGS3 (my friend left for a week), if you don’t fix it - write.
В· Fixed a problem with the south-west wind - sometimes it did not show correctly.
В· Fixes related to stability and errors in localization. In particular, in the configuration dialog of the widget, the wind direction (now in Russian) and in several other places. There are a lot of changes in stability and they will be continued - in the pre-build a lot of diagnostics were added and I now see problems that happen to users much better.

WeatherACE-1.3.4.apk(1.85 MB)


In the next build, I think I’ll add another source - WeatherUnderground. Although there still need to add options to the dialogue where you can compare the weather - when there are many sources, it is not convenient to watch them on the small screen. I think to add an option for this dialogue - “show only X data sources, the best in statistics” or allow the user to hide some data sources on the dialogue.

I also think about the weather widget theme - in my opinion the initial decision is not very successful. Probably it is worth removing the weather for today from this widget, leaving only hourly since now. Then it will make sense to add 2 widgets to the device screen - by the day and by the hour, and there will be no duplicate information.

Ps.

Put version 1.3.4 on the LG Optimus L7. The hourly widget pleased - everyone except the number of displayed "hours" - I would like more :) at least 3, and even better - 4 - 5. Is it difficult to make the number of "hours" in the hourly widget and the time between them difficult to customize?

And one more oddity o.O. I initially installed WeatherACE from here, with 4PDA - but in PlayMarket it is not in the list of installed programs. So it should be?
