        if(weatherInfo != null) {
            // Add your code here
            // weatherInfo object contains all information returned by Yahoo Weather API
            // if `weatherInfo` is null, you can get the error from `errorType`
        }

    public void queryYahooWeatherByPlaceName(final Context context, final String cityAreaOrLocation, final YahooWeatherInfoListener result)

  • Query by latitude and longitude

    public void queryYahooWeatherByLatLon(final Context context, final String lat, final String lon, final YahooWeatherInfoListener result)

  • If you use GPS position for query, the result WeatherInfo will contains an Address object, which is the detail address object return from Geocoder. It contains a lot of information but this lib only use locality, adminArea, and countryName by default. See YahooWeather.addressToPlaceName and Geocoder for details.
