XML stuff design weather app UI

// Implementing the UI for Weather App
// We are successfully requesting data from the Web and
// parsing it into a custom data model.
// Well done.
// Now we just need to create our layout and feed it data from our custom class.


// oh noes the degree image doesn't line up at all!?
// actually it does, it just doesn't look at it in the preview.
// important lesson: always run the emulator and don't depend on the image preview

// to insert image >insert ImageView in design mode. Go to "src" the properties sidebar> click the [...] thingy > scroll down and proceed to find the right image under drawable folder in project tab. simple.

// Now, before we make any changes, I just want to let you know about an important
// point that we always need to remember when working with layout weight.
// For the items that we want to balance using layout weight we need to
// set the layout width of them to either wrap content or
// even zero to let Android calculate the appropriate widths.
// If we forget to do this we can run into annoying issues that are hard
// to troubleshoot.
