A collection of data is often represented in an app in some sort of list. In this course we will learn about the popular Android component called RecyclerView to display and interact with a list of items. We will see how to use some default components as well as building custom lists with our own layouts and adapters.
The first thing we need to do is get the list of data we want to display from our Dark Sky API. We will update the data model classes and have it ready to plug into a list.
