DroidScript RSS Reader

This project is done in DroidScript which is a really neat JavaScript IDE that I have been dabbling in lately. It is run directly on an Android device but can be connected through WiFi to a browser on any computer, and the scripting can be done there.

This is a simple RSS reader that pulls data from a user-entered URL through XML HTTP requests. The XML then gets processed into HTML and displayed through a WebView.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running.

Prerequisites

Installing

  • From the main page of the application, click on the WiFi Connect button in the toolbar. Follow the instructions to access your local IDE from a browser on a laptop or desktop.

  • In the Apps tab, create a new JS application, title it what you will, and copy the code from RSS-Reader.js file in this repository into the application.

  • Run the application from the browser, which will save the code to your phone and compile it there.

On your phone you should see:

Deployment

In order to deploy a DroidScript application outside of your local IDE you will need access to the APKBuilder plugin. Which can be downloaded directly in the Google Play Store or from the DroidScript application. However, use of this plugin does require either a Premium DroidScript subscription or a paid license.
