In this lab, you will add a compass to your application, allow it to pull weather data by your location, and have it choose a random location on shake.
Student Outline
The following lab contains three parts.
Compass
Using the resources and code from the Compass sample, add a compass to frmCompass in your app.
Geolocation
- Attach an onchange event to flpCurrentLocation. When it is switched to On, you should retrieve the current location using [navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition], and disable txtCity and btnLoad. When switched to off, txtCity and btnLoad should be re-enabled.
- When the current location has been retrieved, enable btnLoad.
- When btnLoad is pressed and flpCurrentLocation is in the On position, load the weather information via latitude and longitude, using the following API: http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=35&lon=139
Accelerometer
- A shaking motion can be sensed by setting a threshold for accelerometer activity. Experiment to determine what an acceptable threshold is for your device.
- When on frmMain listen for accelerometer events that could indicate a shaking motion and set the location to a random latitude and longitude and load weather for that location.
