How To Run Vertex

1. clone the project from Github
2. Vertex uses 2 API the first one for forecast and weather conditions from Open Weather. vertex uses Free API end Points so you don't need to add any cridet card to Open Weather.
3. on local.properties file you need to add your api key like the following

# local.properties file
# replace **** with your api key 
API_KEY=**********

1. create secrets.properties file on top level in the project just beside local.properties file. Don't get confused between local.properties and local.defaults.properties file. those are different files. they live beside each other.
2. add Google maps sdk API key to secrets.properties file. NOTE: This file will be ignored by Git. so your api key is safe

# secrets.properties file
# replace ****** with your api key
MAPS_API_KEY=********

the Api key that you have added to Google Maps Must have Maps Sdk Enabled and Places New Api Enabled

3. Enjoy Vertex
