alter-ego / Android-RSS-Reader-Library

A RSS reader library to fetch a RSS feed from the web and parse it to workable objects

With this library you can easily parse Atom and RSS feeds using the SAX APIs available in Android. There's also an rx-java interface. It was forked and inspired from Android-RSS-Reader-Library by Mats Hofman.

Usage

For an example of how to use this library, please take a look at the FeedActivity in the samplefeedreader project. Or, just take a look at these two common usages:

Synchronously

You can use the API by simply calling FeedReader.read(boolean enableLogging, URL url). This will make the request to the url provided and parse it to Feed and FeedItem objects.

Here is an example of how to fetch a RSS feed and iterate through every item:

URL url = new URL("http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index?format=xml");
Feed feed = FeedReader.read(false, url);

ArrayList<FeedItem> feedItems = feed.getItems();
for(FeedItem feedItem : feedItems) {
	Log.i("Atom & RSS Reader", feedItem.getTitle());
}

Asynchronously through rx-java

FeedReader.readWithObservable(true, new URL("http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index?format=xml"))
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .subscribe(new Observer<Feed>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onCompleted() {

                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onError(Throwable e) {
                        textView.setText("read feed error = " + e.toString());
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onNext(Feed feed) {
                        textView.setText("read feed type = " + feed.getFeedtype() + ", size = " + feed.getItems().size());
                        Log.i("Atom & RSS Reader", "read feed type = " + feed.getFeedtype() + ", size = " + feed.getItems().size());
                        Log.i("Atom & RSS Reader", "read feed = " + feed.toString());
                    }
                });
