View 5 RepliesI am trying to find a News Reader and find that most of them seem to rely on feeds from Google Reader and seem not to recognise UK based feeds (or at least I cannot find the same feeds that I used on my iPhone).

View 15 Replies View RelatedI would like to sync some content in my application with google reader. I know that there are apps on the market that access google reader so I know that it can be done.
Are there any built in java apis in android to access google reader, if not, what do you think is the best approach to implementing this.
I've googled a bit on this and I have some ideas on how to implement this, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there already is a working solution available.
I greatly prefer using apps like the telegraph news program over googles mobile versions why aren't their dedicated apps for Reader and News?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI currently use Slidescreen as a glorified Google Reader app (i.e. turned off the facebook, twitter and stocks parts), because it presents the feeds beautifully in light grey text on a black background, which not only looks cool, but it saves on battery life on my Desire's AMOLED screen. Letting me swipe away feeds without clicking through (when I can see from the headline that I don't need to) is nice too.The downside is that Slidescreen seems to eat up quite a lot of power and battery, and there is no convenient way to refresh feeds (you either have it autocheck regularly, eating lots more power, or you have to click the menu button, then "home settings", then scroll down to "google reader", then "reload group" - hardly a simple process to do regularly).
Another nice thing that Slidescreen does is let you choose which Reader folders it syncs with, so it can just present you with feeds more suited to reading on a phone.Are there any other Google Reader apps (that use less cpu/battery than Slidescreen, otherwise I might as well stick with Slidescreen), but also offer white/grey text on a black background, and let you choose which of the feeds it syncs with?I've got Greed2, which is a very nice app, but it doesn't have either of the above features.
I love the new feature in Listen that allows it to sync with Reader to manage podcast subscriptions...or at least I love the idea of it. Since updating Listen and using it for many days now, I have seen nothing regarding my podcast subscriptions popping up in my Reader account. How can I fix this? Is there something I'm missing?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just realized that the News app that comes with my Evo does not sync with Google Reader. That seems weird, given that Android is made by Google. (I think the app is made by HTC, not Google, but still...)
What news/RSS reader is good and will sync with my feeds on Google Reader?
I'm not sure yet whether I want a widget on the home screen or if I will just put an icon and go to the app when I want to read stuff, but any reviews on an app's bundled widget is helpful too.
I've had (unsolved) problems before signing in to sites using stock browser, but now i can't log in to the google reader mobile webpage! google.com shows i am logged in, and if i use the drop down to access Gmail, that works...but if i use the dropdown for Reader, it gets in a permanent loop of asking me to log in - even though i already am logged in to my google account in stock browser. i've cleared cache - what else do i do? it was working up until yesterday afternoon...i woke up this morning and i can't log in. i don't have any problems logging in using Opera - but i hate Opera so much!

I would like to actually have an application that does everything the site does but would like it to be nice and simple instead of launching the site every time.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI'm sure there's an easy answer to this: I have a lot subscriptions in Google Reader that I'd to access through HTC's news widget; do I really need to export an OPML file from the Reader to my phone - or is it easier than that (I'd have thought so!)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a quick and easy way to create app menu bars like the ones at the top of the Google+ and Google Reader apps??? Basically, I'm speaking of the bar at the very top that contains the app title/logo and a few buttons to the right.
Is there a standard way of doing this like when editing the Action Bar in Honeycomb, or is this simply a RelativeLayout?
This is my first time on stack overflow, so I apologize if this question has been asked before, but is there an easy way to implement an RSS reader on the Google Android (API 1.5)?
I'm searched far and wide with the code sources I know of, and I've only found one implementation which takes 6 different classes and doesn't seem to compile on the current Android SDK's.
If I end up having to write my own, I'll be sure to post it here later on.
this Android code worked fine before, but i'm having problems for some reason. here is the request i'm trying to make: https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/token. i'm getting 400:Bad Request as a response, and i'm not sure why. isn't this the correct URL for requesting a token? the auth token is being passed as a header in all requests now, and i can request feed list, and it works just fine, so there's nothing wrong with the auth code. what gives? in addition, i can request a token in a normal browser, like Chrome, and get a token as a response body. so the request itself is not the problem. i just can't figure out what is wrong with my requests in code...

I have Newsroom on my Palm Pre, but was told I would need to purchase it again for Android.
Any good ones out there? No preference free/pay, my main preference is that it is a good program.
I use Newsroom but would be interested in one that directly sinks with Google Reader. What do you guys use?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any good pdf readers that save where you are up to in a pdf document so that you don't have to try and find the page you are up to every time you open the document. That is the one feature that the standard one is missing (unless I am just not seeing it)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf there is a useful pdf reader. i've tried one - it's great - it opens pdf's but is useless for reading as u have to scroll right and left. I would imagine that 99% of the time the pdf reader is useless! is there a pdf reader that forces all of the content to fit your screen width - similar to how they do on browsers.

1. What is your favorite E-Book reading app
2. Why is it your favorite?
I am going on vacation in a couple weeks and would love to take some books with me, with out having to carry books with me lol.A good library of free books is appreciated, but I am not opposed to paying a reasonable price for good books.
I have a Telus HTC Desire and I'm trying to put Barnes Noble's ereader on it. When I go to the market and search either BN reader or Nook it comes up blank...it's supposed to be there. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have the installer file?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy mother recently indicated that she's considering being in the market for an ebook reader. However she is, bless her soul, firmly insistent on open format, DRM-free, and the ability to "really own" a book she's downloaded. She doesn't even want the potential for a Kindle-1984-type remote-wipe or an inability to move a book to another device later. (Yes, my mother has grown up to be a Free Software evangelist. I'm so proud of her. *sniff*)
Of course, she doesn't know the ebook market all that well, and frankly neither do I. She's considering the B&N Nook, but from what little I know it has the same lock-in problems as the Kindle.
So my question is, I suppose, two-fold:
1) Are there any ebook stores or services available for any device that don't treat customers are criminals waiting to happen, and use a DRM-free format without revocation ability? Are they bound to a given device, or are there any that work on an arbitrary Android device? A good ebook reader app or use of the open ePub format (for which I understand there are several readers available) is a plus here.
2) Of the various devices out there (both phone and non-phone), which make particularly good ebook readers? She has a decently large purse but it still wouldn't hold an iPad-sized device comfortably, but at the same time a 3-inch screen is not going to work for her eyes. (It barely works for mine.) What's a good device if that's your main interest? Any good/bad experiences here, or at least things to look for?
