    Answer it

    I am using openweathermap.org API for displaying current weather for a place user type. My application displayed it However, it is not flexible as it is displaying all different details such as weather description, latitude, longitude, Wind Speed , current temperature.. all in a single string so it is not reusable which we should make. Suppose if i want to display the place on google map with current temperature with a map marker, I should be able to get only what i want in this case current temperature and latitude and longitude.

    I want these details to display on separete textfields. I am beginner in Android. Please look into my code and suggest me with a solution and guidance.


    Here is my main activity code
     

     

    Public class MainActivity extends Activity {
      Button btnSubmitCity, btnMap;
      EditText editCityText;
      TextView weather_description, current_temp, wind_speed, textViewResult;
    
    
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        editCityText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editCity);
        btnMap =(Button) findViewById(R.id.mapButton);
        btnSubmitCity = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submitCity);
        weather_description = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.weatherDescription);
        current_temp = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.currentTemp);
        wind_speed = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.windSpeed);
        //textViewResult = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.result);
        textViewResult = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.result);
        btnMap.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    
        btnMap.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View v) {
    
          }
        });
        btnSubmitCity.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View v) {
            //editCityText.getText().toString();
            //HttpGetTask
            String cityString = editCityText.getText().toString();
            if(TextUtils.isEmpty(cityString)) {
              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Enter a place", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
              return;
            } else{
              new HttpGetTask(cityString, weather_description).execute(cityString);
