Add Loading Indicator for API Requests

Description:

Issue:

When users make requests to fetch weather data for a specific location, the app currently lacks a loading indicator, leaving users uncertain about whether their request is being processed. To enhance the user experience, we should add a loading indicator to provide visual feedback during API requests.

Proposed Solution:

• Add a loading spinner or progress bar to the user interface.

• Display the loading indicator when a user initiates a weather data request.

• Hide the loading indicator when the data is successfully fetched or when an error occurs.

Benefits:

• Improved user experience: Users will receive immediate feedback that their request is being processed, reducing uncertainty and frustration.

• Enhanced usability: The loading indicator will make the app more user-friendly and intuitive.

• Clear visual cue: Users will know when to expect weather data to appear on the screen.

Acceptance Criteria:

• A loading indicator is added to the user interface.

• The loading indicator is displayed while API requests are being processed.

• The loading indicator disappears when weather data is successfully fetched or when an error occurs.

Additional Information:

This improvement will make our Weather App more user-friendly and provide a smoother experience for users while waiting for weather data to load. It's a great opportunity for a contributor to make a valuable enhancement to the app's user interface.
