Download License API

This is an Android library to parse a RSS Feed. You can retrive the following information about an article:

  • Title
  • Author
  • Description
  • Content
  • Main Image
  • Link
  • Publication Date

How to

Import:

The library is uploaded in jCenter, so you can easily add the dependency:

dependencies {
  compile 'com.prof.rssparser:rssparser:1.0'
}

Use:

import com.prof.rssparser.Article;
import com.prof.rssparser.Parser;

//url of RSS feed
String urlString = "http://www.androidcentral.com/feed";
Parser parser = new Parser();
parser.execute(urlString);
parser.onFinish(new Parser.OnTaskCompleted() {
    
    @Override
    public void onTaskCompleted(ArrayList<Article> list) {
      //what to do when the parsing is done
      //the Array List contains all article's data. For example you can use it for your adapter. 
    }

    @Override
    public void onError() {
      //what to do in case of error
    }
});

Sample app

I wrote a simple app that shows articles from Android Central. If in the article's content there isn't a image, a placeholder will be load.

You can browse the code in this repo. You can also download the apk file to try it!
