I use Newsrob, and curious as to what seems to be the most popular way to download RSS feeds for offline use? Do you download Articles / Articles + Images / Articles + Images + Mobile Web Page / Articles + Images + Web Pages?

I am working on Eclipse and am looking for method to down load Android API's offline and then plug it to Eclipse
is there a method for that ? because my internet Connection drive me crazy.
I've done plenty of research but alas I still can't deteremine whether Google Listener has the capability to download podcasts for you to listen to them at a later time, specifically (in my case) when without an internet connection.It works fine if you have a connection - you can listen to any episode of a subscribed podcast, and all is well - I can't falt it on this side of things.But I want to be able to subscribe and have Listener download episodes in the background when wi-fi is available so that I can then listen to them at my leisure - most often when wi-fi is not avilable (i.e. at work )The 'Download Settings' imply this is the case. I've selected the 'Download new audio' and 'Only on Wi-fi', which (to me) imply Listener should download and queue all new episodes whenever a wi-fi connection is available (but never via mobile data connection). But nothing downloads at all. All I seem to be able to do is to listen to an episode so long as I have wi-fi connection. I can;t listen to anything offline.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using the SAX parser to read some RSS feeds and have found a problem. Some feeds, for example CNN Money Top Stories, have embedded some characters in their content, i.e. the copyright symbol. Well, that's not valid XML and the SAX Parser fails with an exception "invalid token". The only help I have seen given is to fix the XML at the source and that's not an option obviously. So, I can think of 2 options and they both stink:
(a) read the content first, scrub it, and then pass it to the parser.
(b) Use DOM instead of SAX.
What I *want* to do is make the parser a little more forgiving and just accept or discard/ignore the bad text. I'm not have any luck with setErrorHandler. My error handler does not get called.
I would like to know how hard would it be to to build RSS feeds app but only specific ones. For example politics: Pull rss feeds news from politico.com, cnn.com, fox.com etc..... and than display on G1... I would love some info on that and if someone can build such thing. ...am interested.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write an XML parser that takes an RSS feed & fetches the image urls shown in the url attribute of the <media:thumbnail> tag. This is all being done via android.Util.Xml, & is an adaptation of the code shown here. An example RSS feed that I'm trying to use is the BBC News RSS feed. However, media is an additional namespace & (probably) as a result my parser isn't working as it should. A version of my parse method is below. Is there any (no doubt simple) way to get my list of image URLs working?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I am looking into Podcasts and RSS Feeds. I have used iTunes in the past to subscribe and watch podcasts, but havent been using iTunes much lately. RSS Feeds I am absolutely new to, and havent yet tried it out. From what I have read RSS Readers (like Google Reader) can subscribe to podcasts, but what about my phone? Would I need a separate RSS reader app, and would it sync with the subscriptions as my PC reader? Are there phone readers that support Video Podcasts?
The other option I saw was to use iTunes and tweak it to allow Podcasts to sync with your Android Device, but Im not sure if this method works with Videos. Im wondering which path is better and easier to manage? It seems easier to find and subscribe to videos using iTunes, but if there is another way, Im all for ditching iTunes completely. I am setting up Googe Reader for RSS feeds either way, I guess thats a separate issue, what I am mainly concerned with is syncing RSS feeds with my phone, and watching Video Podcasts on my Phone.
I want to show feeds from a blog in a listview.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to parse a RSS2.0 feed, obtained from a remote server, on my Android device using XML Pull Parser.
get a parser instance and set input,encoding
XmlPullParser parser = Xml.newPullParser();
parser.setInput(getInputStream(), null);
I am getting invalid token exceptions after a few items have been parsed:
Error parsing document. (position:line
-1, column -1) caused by: org.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser$ParseException:
At line 158, column 25: not
well-formed (invalid token)
Strangely, when I download the feed XML on the device, bundle it inside the raw folder and then run the same code. Everything works fine. What could be the problem here? How do I validate the XML before I parse it on device?
Essentially, I am looking for a podcatcher that will work with casts requiring authentication (HTTPS). I have several classes I would like to grab the feeds for, but require a login/password and none of the podcatchers I have tried work (Listen, DoggCatcher...etc). It doesn't have to be fancy, I just want something to listen to lectures on while on the fly and not have to worry about constantly syncing with a computer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several subscribe-to podcast feeds in Google Reader. When hit 'refresh' in Listen, no feeds or podcasts ever appear. Is there a setting I need to change? I realize this is part of 'Labs', but seeing there are many who use this app, it must be something I'm overlooking.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to track down a rogue application that seems to be receiving massive amounts of data. On the iPhone, I would use about 200mb/month due to WiFi at work and at home. However, on the Samsung Captivate, I can go from 100MB/month to 2+GB/month! I noticed huge amounts of data being used on my commutes to and from work.
On occasion, my home WiFi/DSL would get so lagged due to my Captivate being on the network that my son would complain and I would then put the phone in air plane mode. I reasoned that if it was happening on my WiFi network, as well as 3G, then perhaps I could using my router to log the activity to see what sites my phone was trying to connect to, then perhaps I could pinpoint the offending application.
My phone was connecting to a website that was part of a posting that was on facebook, which was only showing on the Samsung "Feeds and Updates" widget. I wasn't running the native facebook application at the time. I had the "Feeds and Updates" widget set to never update, unless I manually did it. Why was it trying to connect when it shouldn't have been? Don't know. Am I certain that this widget was the offending application? Not sure. Since removing the widget, I haven't had any bandwidth spikes.
PS. I tried Droid Wall, but it fails to work.
I enjoy watching / listening to the CBS Early Show in the morning. Today it was not available through Miguntu Live TV or Channelsurfing.net. My question is, Are there other sources free or paid that you trust that can provide live TV that work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to download and install my app from my website, but when i do this at the moment i get the error:-
Download unsuccessful - Cannot Download. The content is not supported on the phone.
After looking into this it became apparent that the PHP Magic, that handles the downloads from the website, recognises the file as a .zip file rather then a .apk file and sends the it a .zip, that the phone does not recognise.
Does anyone know a way to get PHP Magic to recognise the file as an apk so that file extension does not get changed and the phone can recognise it?

I wanted to see how my app looks on a G1 so I connected it to my computer and put my .apk file into the downloads folder on my G1's SD- Card. Ok, now my app is on my OFFLINE G1 but how do I install it? Can I install it with only the native apps on my G1? Right now, I don't see anyway to view the file. I know I can take the chip out of my N1 and put it back into my G1 and then simply download and install it but I would rather not do that.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application with TripIt integration and I make a call to their API and I get all my data in JSON format and save it in an object ListTripResponse. This object contains all the data I need over all the application. What I do now, I write this object to a text file (i serialize my object and save it as a file with ObjectOutputStream) and in every activity I read this file. But this file is pretty long and it takes a while to read it. And i have to use and read this object in every activity! Isn't there a better way to do this? I cannot save this file in a database because the structure is to complex.
