WeatherDataProvider— Our ContentProvider which stores the weather data for this sample. Note that for simplicity, it currently stores the data in memory as opposed to an external and persistent storage such as a file, network location, database, or shared preference.WeatherWidgetProvider— Our AppWidgetProvider which handles specific intent actions (such as when an item is clicked, or the refresh button is pressed). It also sets up the RemoteViews for the widget and binds the service to the collection view in the widget.WeatherWidgetService— Our RemoteViewsService which manages the creation of new factories, which return the RemoteViews for each item in the ListView.

Apex Weather is a new weather app from the developers of Apex Launcher, one of the best Android launchers. This weather app is above average. You get your basic stuff like the current, daily, and hourly forecasts. It also includes a weather map, severe weather alerts, and some of the better clock and weather widgets we've seen in a while. It even shows less common stuff like sunrise and sunset times, air pressure, UV index, and more. You can get weather forecasts in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia along with a rather bland news blog if you want one. The ads can be a tad annoying, but otherwise this weather app checks all of the boxes. You can also remove the ads with a single $5.99 payment.
