Hi,

i am trying to get data of Hawthorn,Australia. so I have passed postal code 3122. but it gives weather data of Gemeente Schiedam,NL. but when i have passed parameter like this 3122,au.it gives perfect result. 1)so how can i pass this kind of parameter q="{postalcode}{country}" in code? 2)why this two urls give different data?

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=3122&mode=json&units=metric&cnt=7&appid=your app id

Pass your Preferred Appid.

Answering Question 2.

according to Openweather map http://openweathermap.org/current#name ss3 , you are expected to call a particular city by its city id to get unambiguous result

For Question 1 Just pass the value to a string.

So i declare my Location String Here as pref_location_default.... ss 4

and use it here

ss 5

hi Andy, Thank you for replay. but every user does not know city Id so our app will not be user friendly.

How can we pass auto complete list of city or postal code ? because one city is located in many other country .

for example. if i pass hawthorn ,it showing me US hawthorn weather data,but i actually want AU hawthorn weather data. so it is better to give auto complete list to user where they can select which ever they want.
