Building Real time weather report Android app for local Vancouver waters

[Paravoffka]

Hi everyone,

Before going finishing I always was checking halibut bank sensor on gov canada website - https://www.weather.gc.ca/marine/we..._e.html?mapID=02&siteID=14305&stationID=46146

It wasn't convenient so I just used some web scrapping and united 4 buoys which show wave parameters in one tiny app.

For me it works great to run through the buoys data and see overall picture in the straight.

Just thinking what else can I add to the app to make it better, but not too complicated.

You can try it using this link:

Halibut Bank - Apps on Google Play

Real time weather report for Vancouver saltwater fisherman in Georgia Straight.

play.google.com

Please note it is very basic and unfinished project yet.

Looking for ideas for new features. For example was thinking to make fishing alarm, e.g. if tomorrow Sunday or Saturday and the weather is flat calm - the app should ring the bell to notify user that tomorrow fishing day.

Thanks!
I'm always checking that bouy before heading to Thormanby. I've put your app right next to windy and the others!

New version available.

The old one is broken so please remove it.

The new one has fixed bugs plus I added new feature - Alarm.
You can select conditions to target and the app on the background will check this page - https://weather.gc.ca/marine/forecast_e.html?mapID=03&siteID=14301 and if criteria satisfied then it's going to do push notification.
