azan

AZAN is an Android/Kotlin library for calculating Islamic prayer times. It provides a simple interface to compute prayer times based on location, timezone, latitude, longitude, and calculation method. The README shows how to integrate the library via Gradle (through JitPack) and demonstrates usage by creating a location object, selecting a calculation method, and retrieving prayer times such as fajr, sunrise, dhuhr, asr, maghrib, and isha. The library is designed to let you query prayer times for a given date with a single call and supports multiple calculation methods including MWL, Umm al-Qura, Islamic Society ISNA, and more.

To use it, add the JitPack repository to your root Gradle build, then add the dependency in your app module. After that, you can instantiate an Azan object with a Location and Method, call getPrayerTimes for a given date, and access individual times like fajr() or ishaa(). The README also includes a short example that prints the computed times for a given day.

Prerequisites:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) and Android Studio installed
• Gradle-enabled Android project

Installation steps:

1. Add JitPack repository to your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects { repositories { maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } } }

2. Add the Azan dependency to your app module's build.gradle:

dependencies { implementation 'com.github.ahmedeltaher:Azan:3.0' }

3. Sync your project with Gradle files. You can then import and use the Azan API in your code as shown in the README example.

Notes and tips:

• The library relies on various prayer time calculation methods. Choose the one that matches your region requirements (e.g., MWL, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, ISNA).
• Ensure you provide accurate latitude, longitude, and timezone to get correct results.
• The README references Gradle usage and a sample Kotlin snippet; adapt the example to fit your app architecture.
• This repository appears to be a library rather than a standalone server, so MCP-style server setup is not required for usage.
