So I am using the OpenWeatherMap Api to create a sun spotter app, so the issue I have right now is that, I have all the icons in my drawable folder, the issue is I want to display all the icons right now I have ti set up like this:
I am using that hard coded icon as a placeholder but I want all the other icons to show, my issue is how do I do that, the image from the api is given in string format and i don't know how I would get them from by drawable folder
Code
// Array Adapter
class ForecastAdapter(val forecast: Forecast) : RecyclerView.Adapter<ForecastData>(){
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return forecast.list.count()
}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(p0: ViewGroup, p1: Int): ForecastData {
val layoutInflator = LayoutInflater.from(p0?.context)
val cellForRow = layoutInflator.inflate(R.layout.weather_row, p0, false)
return ForecastData(cellForRow)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(p0: ForecastData, p1: Int) {
val getWeather = forecast.list[p1]
val clouds = getWeather.weather[0]
val getDateTime = forecast.list[p1]
val getIcon = forecast.list[p1]
// val icon = getIcon.weather[0]
p0.view.textView_text_clouds.text = clouds.main
p0.view.textView_date_time.text = getDateTime.dt_txt
// p0.view.imageView_icon = icon.icon
}
}
class ForecastData(val view: View): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view){
}// MainActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
searchButton.setOnClickListener {
getRequest()
}
view.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
// val drawableId: Int = getResources().getIdentifier("drawable", "drawable", getPackageName())
}
private fun getRequest() {
val input = searchBar.getText().toString()
val url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?zip=" + input + "&units=imperial&APPID=" + getString(R.string.OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY)
val request = okhttp3.Request.Builder().url(url).build()
val client = OkHttpClient()
client.newCall(request).enqueue(object: Callback {
override fun onResponse(call: Call, response: okhttp3.Response) {
val body = response?.body()?.string()
println(body)
val gson = GsonBuilder().create()
val weather = gson.fromJson(body, Forecast::class.java)
runOnUiThread {
view.adapter = ForecastAdapter(weather)
}
}
override fun onFailure(call: Call, e: IOException) {
println("Failed to execute")
}
})
}
}
