Write A Mobile Application That Makes Use of RSS Feed

The document describes how to create an Android application that uses an RSS feed. It involves using an AsyncTask to retrieve the RSS feed from a URL in the background. The headlines and links are extracted from the XML and added to ArrayLists. These are then used to populate a ListView with the headlines. When a list item is clicked, the linked article is opened in a browser. The application retrieves the feed, parses the XML data, displays the headlines in a list, and handles clicks to open linked articles in a browser.

No: 10 Write a mobile application that makes use of RSS feed

Aim

To develop an android application that makes use of RSS feed.

Procedure

1. Open Android Studio.


2. Create a new project named as exno10.
3. In activity_main.xml add a ListView.
4. In MainActivity.java, create the objects for the components defined in the
activity_main.xml file.
5. Create a resources reference variable and instantiate it with Resources from
getResources() method.
6. Create a String array and initiate it with getStringArray() method of Resources object.
7. Set the Adapter to the ListView with built-in simple_list_item_1 layout and String array
as parameters .
8. In AndroidManifest.xml, get permission to use the INTERNET.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
9. Run the exno10 application using an emulator.
