hi
I am the owner of a small, not-for-profit website. Hoping to find a free or inexpensive android coder to create a simple rss feed reader app for our website. I searched around and there seems to be plenty of open source rss readers that could be customized for this. I also will supply all of the icons/artwork necessary.
If you are interested, please contact me at ps2dev at gmail.com or by private message here.

NewsCopier
MaximumSoft NewsCopier is a freeware RSS reader. Features include:
* hiding of read articles,
* Cleartype support,
* allows feeds to be stored on your memory card,
* support for a wide variety of RSS-feed formats: RSS 1.0 (including RSS 0.9, 0.91, 0.92), RSS 2.0 and Atom
* Automatic (periodic) updates of feeds
The basic user-interface is quite similar to Illium's NewsBreak, but it lacks advanced features like alerting on keywords and loggin into protected feeds.
Ok thanks, I've tried several, but I still don't know how to add the xda-developers forum to my channel list.
I would like to add some topics(or the whole forum) to the list, so when I sync it, the program downloads that topic, or just the new posts.
Anyone knows how can I do it?
Cheers,
Not sure if you can do that ... I havent seen a RSS symbol for either the forum or thread ... However I know that this can be done on other forums like HoFo ..
Maybe someone else knows how to do this ..
dont forget Egress, thats my favourite. you can even sync the entire web page from the news feed. Also choose to download pictures as part of the feed or choose which pictures to get and does podcasts.
Is there a free application that I can install for news articles on my Wizard?
What I have in mind is similar to RSS readers. I would connect the phone to my computer vis USB. The phone would grab all the news articles that i am interested from the internet. Whenever I have time, I would just pull up those news articles on the phone and read them.
NewsCopier v1.1
It's freeware that lets you download RSS and Atom feeds and read them off-line. Learned about it from a thread here, but I've never used it myself.

If that doesn't get the job done for you, you might want to drop 20 bucks on Spb's "Insight." It's what I use.
You can create your own custom XML templates for it, so you're not limited to RSS or Atom feeds. You can pull down just about anything you want from any web site, if you can figure out how to parse it.
Careful though. It's addictive.
[damn i forgot name of good freeware soft sorry.).
upd, here it is:

Hi all, I know you can get some rss feeders that purport to download the entire article so you can read it all even offline, but I have not as yet found out how to get either Newsbreak (which I am not sure if it does) or SPB News (which does but I cant figure it out) to do this... can anyone please help me with easy to follow instructions so I can get the full article to read off line etc... thanks in advance...
Spb News can, sort of...
I am using Spb News on my HD2. It is not (and by far) the best RSS reader out there but for a selected number of feeds, there are indeed "templates" which will fetch you the full articles instead of what would otherwise just look like a worthless bunch of tweets. Here is a short extract of the developer's documentation:
Templates in Spb Insight project are intended to download and parse web documents of different kind, mostly news sites. Since different web sites have very different page formatting, a template needs to be created for every site. A template contains information about the site and code to help parse content, clean it up from menus, advertisements and so on.
The template language was created with easiness, popularity and conformity to internet standards in mind. Wide-spread internet language Jscript (a.k.a. ECMAScript) was chosen as the basic language, wrapped with XML to enable metadata processing, such as channel names etc.
One template can contain definitions for multiple channels, as there are usually several channels on one site that has the same formatting and the parsing code for them should be shared.
Despite the recent release of the renamed v2.0 (from Insight to News) bringing next to nothing new, Spb has seemingly moved their resources away from this product so that the "channels" are no longer kept up-to-date. It is now essentially a matter of trial&error to find out those feeds from the online catalogue that still can return you the full articles, or, you program yourself a template. A third option is to use one of the user-contributed templates directly from the forum.
Good luck and happy news reading!

Thanks for the info, I was hoping there would be an easy (ier) solution as I am not that savvy with technamolology...
I will have a look and see if I cant figure it all out... cheers.
Needed information: -Currently I working on an my first app (besides Hello World) for a club that I am in on campus.
-I want to display the news feed of a closed group in a small window- but I have been lead to believe that I would need to make an app on Facebook.
-My current "solution" would be to link up the group with Wordpress and use Wordpress to displayed a "window" in the app.
-I am using Eclipse ( since netbeans lacks a gui editor)
- any other solutions need to be as basic as possible on the front end. Any possible president in the future would need to be able to work with it, and updates need to be kept easy to follow with or without much computer skills.
-help would be appreciated.
Background: -Originally I was going to display a window of the twitter feed from the app-and I found that twitter has a library to work with.
-Other app features are a calender that would be synced with one that the President works with.
-There will be a set of "themes" within the app for the members customization.
-I am new to developing and coding. I come from the world of designing and audio editing. I have been studying on my own, but have had little hands on. With the twitter I was able to find a tutorial that both walked me through and explained the concepts.
Hello everyone, I am new to android applications, but I am not new to the programming world.
I want to develop a twitter like application, twitter-like because I want my app to have the tweets feed/ news feed portion.
The news feed portion will be constantly updated with new information/announcements/reminders coming from my online SQL database.
I have already downloaded the Android ADT Eclipse bundle. I just want to add a news feed feature on my application.
NOTE: The data to be displayed on the news feed shall be coming from my own online SQL database.
Any kind of help is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance
