Just came across this weather SDK for iOS and Android, but need help learning how to add the SDK to the blank screen plugin. http://www.hamweather.com/products/aeris-mobile/ Can anyone help me?

Nice find. It seems pretty simple to add to a BT app. I will try to add it tonight or tomorrow. If no one helps you before that. I'll post back The api seems fine but expensive if you're logging in more than 750 users per day. http://www.hamweather.com/products/aeris-api/pricing/

Thanks Mysps! iOS BTW or though I'm sure there will be others who want it on Android. I have seen the pricing, but it will be something I will pass onto my client. They do have a free version, although not many call ups, but it looks nice and I just want to see how good it is. You never know, I might be able to convince them that its worth reducing the price for BT users. Thanks for the response.

That looks super cool! Got an app that would be ideal for. I'll keep my eyes on this space for @mysps to solve this one.

That's really cool. I have a weather plugin that should be approved soon as well, but I'll check this out too. Here's a screenshot from my plugin: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76141353/cp_weather2.png

Thanks GoNorthWest. I put it together for a couple of my apps and figured I'd build it out as a plugin. Pretty happy with it. Only for iOS at the moment.

It uses the Weather Underground API. It's free for up to 500 calls per day and $20/mo for up to 5,000 per day.

Looks interesting but the SDK is not yet avail for Android- "The Aeris Android Framework is not yet available, but it’s coming in 2013. Watch for updates and progress postings over on our developer blog." http://www.hamweather.com/support/documentation/mobile/android/ Unless you have some BETA access? Otherwise you'll have to consume their API. It spits out JSON..... Excite for MGO's plug-in as well. 59 degrees in the ATL right now. Good Luck Tonight!

@Dragon007 - I've decided not to try implementing it. I will in turn wait for MGOBLUE's plugin. You should definitely try yourself, if you get hung up post back here...
