public interface GithubApi {

    List<WeatherResult> requestWeatherForNext7Days();
}

RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()

LAZY, But...

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MenuItemActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(MenuItemActivity.EXTRA_PLACE, currentPlace);
intent.putExtra(MenuItemActivity.EXTRA_ITEM, selectedItem);
startActivity(intent);

LAZY, But...

MenuItemActivity.intent(this)
        .place(currentPlace)
        .item(selectedItem)
        .start();
