🌦 Weather App Features

1. Weather Based on Current Location

• Automatically detects the user's location using device GPS.
• Fetches real-time weather data for the current location.
• Displays:
  • Temperature
  • Location
  • Icon
  • Weather conditions (e.g., sunny, cloudy, rainy)

2. Search Weather by Location

• Location List: Provides a preloaded list of districts (zilla list) for easy location search.
• Search Functionality: Allows users to search for weather details by district name.
  • Real-time search to narrow down district names as the user types.

3. Backstack Navigation

• Efficient backstack management:
• Users can navigate back to the main weather screen from the search screen.
• Preserves the selected location and displays the weather for that location.

Configuration Change Management

• Handles configuration changes, such as screen rotation, without losing data or state.
• Uses ViewModel to retain UI-related data across configuration changes.
• Leverages Jetpack Compose's declarative UI to automatically recompose views as needed.

🚀 Technologies Used

This app is built using modern Android development tools and practices:

• Jetpack Compose: For building declarative and responsive UI.
• ViewModel: To manage UI-related data in a lifecycle-aware way.
• MVVM Architecture: For separating concerns and ensuring maintainability.
• Koin: A lightweight dependency injection framework for managing app dependencies.
• Ktor: For making efficient and structured API calls.
• Coroutines: For managing asynchronous tasks smoothly and ensuring responsiveness.
