This project hosts the source code for few Android RSS reader applications. Each RSS reader provides the following functionality:
- Displays the currently available RSS feeds.
- Tapping on each individual RSS entry opens browser window and forwards to the news URL.
- Resizable home/lock screen widget which displays the titles of the news articles.
- Tapping on the widget displays all currently available RSS feeds.
