ahorn / android-rss Goto Github PK

I tried to put a feedburner URL like this one and it didn't work.

Is there a way to get around this?

I have to use a custom User-Agent string in the request to the server. One way of doing that (I think) would be to pass my own HttpClient to the constructor of RSSReader where I have set the correct user-agent beforehand. The problem is that I have to pass an RSSParser at the same time and I can't seem to use "new RSSParser(new RSSConfig())" from my own code as the RSSParser class is not public.

How about adding a constructor like this to RSSReader.java?

  /**
   * Instantiate a thread-safe HTTP client to retrieve RSS feeds. The injected
   * {@link HttpClient} implementation must be thread-safe.
   * Internal memory consumption and load performance can be tweaked with
   * {@link RSSConfig}.
   * 
   * @param httpclient thread-safe HTTP client implementation
   * @param config RSS configuration
   */
  public RSSReader(HttpClient httpclient, RSSConfig config) {
      this(httpclient, new RSSParser(config));
  }

Then it can be called like this:

  String userAgent = "custom-user-agent";
  AndroidHttpClient httpClient = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance(userAgent);
  RSSConfig rssConfig = new RSSConfig(5, 5);
  RSSReader reader = new RSSReader(httpClient, rssConfig);

I am sorry .. i dont know where to post this .. so making it a new issue.. Sorry for this ..

I am using ur library & it works fine for RSS. Now i need 2 support ATOM feed.
could u please suggest what modifications do i need 2 make to support ATOM.
will just modifying the parser code to support all ATOM tags will work. (i mean adding OR clauses ... example "item" or "entry" ..) will do the magic ?

Hi,

I was getting the NumberFormatException while loading the rss feed from [http://spectrum.ieee.org/rss/fulltext] as below:

Caused by an empty string. The only check done in intValue function is for a null string. Added check for empty string to return the default value for my local version.
if((value == null) || (value.isEmpty())) { return defaultValue; }

Add some kind of API that allows devs to add support for new tags. It can by adding setters to RSSHandler. I have to handle RSS feed where instead of pubDate there is dc:date, and there is no possibility to use that library.

Hi, I just want to try your library and it seems I'm not able to install it. It gives me error:

Error: Flag '--library' is not valid for 'update lib-project'.

I just today upgraded SDK Tools to revision 12. Maybe this is source of problem.

android -h update lib-project gives me:

Options:
  -p --path     The project's directory [required]
  -t --target   Target ID to set for the project

Thanks for help

It would be very helpful and time saving to add the proguard rules needed in order to add this library to a project.

The feed I am Reading uses the tag "entry" instead of "item". The name of tag is encoded in a private final static field in class RSSHandler. So I have changed the string in the source code.

It would be nice a way to set this tag name without modifying the original source code.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm using your library to read many rss feeds at a time.
I noted strange dates in my articles and searching the code I noticed that:

/**

• @see RFC 822
  */
  private static final SimpleDateFormat RFC822 = new SimpleDateFormat(
  "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z", java.util.Locale.ENGLISH);

SimpleDateFormat is NON thread-safe so you can't declare as static
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6840803/why-is-javas-simpledateformat-not-thread-safe

Thanks for your great work.

To avoid requests on orientation change, being able to Parcel this items would make things easier.

I can make the PR, but it's terrible to still work on a Eclipse project structure :(

It would be nice if you could add a feature to dump the whole XML to a string so that it can be stored as a file.

Tried to use your lib unfortunately got an error:

Hello.
I'm trying to parse a feed from my website, which is encoded in ISO-8859-1 and uses accented characters (which are very common in Italian language). The parser throw an exception and the application is crashing.

This is the URL of my feed: http://forum.wininizio.it/index.php/rss/blog/

Please, can you help me in order to get it to work?

Thanks for this great piece of code! :)

Hi,

I tried to use your library but I got the error on title.
Can you help me with it?

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm using this library and try to get enclosure from the RSS Feed like :
http://lesclesdedemain.lemonde.fr/screens/RSS/sw_getFeed.php?idTheme=HOME
or
http://www.gamergen.com/rss

But the return value is always null, any idea of which class I can edit to perform enclosure retrieving ?

Cheers.

Hi,

I am new to android development. How do I make use of the library in Android Studio? What should I be adding to the build file?

Hi ahorn, this is isn't an issue but I'm looking to manage in a polite way any eventual network disconnections in my app when using android-rss.

Can you recommend me how to catch and handle this kind of exception. I was trying to manage it in my code but that exception is not throwed directly from my code. The main idea is to prevent my app to break with a message error, and handle it whit a polite message to the user.

Thank you in advance,
Martin

Trying to compile with this library in my app on API level 25 and it's not working.

Error:(46, 13) Failed to resolve: org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5

After examining some other help it seems like your library is using an old networking library that is not present in the latest versions of Android (and beyond).

Seems like the problem lies in the RSSReader class right at the start.

public RSSFeed load(String uri) throws RSSReaderException {
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(uri);

With some slight tweaking of how the data is retrieved, it should be easy to replace this in the app without any other impact.

Unfortunately not much more information is given although it is caused by this line:

feed = reader.load(uri);

RSSReader is not found ... and I can't see what to include anywhere to solve

Hi,

can you add support from gradle and publish as artifact on maven central?

you can follow this guide:
http://gmariotti.blogspot.it/2013/09/publish-aar-file-to-maven-central-with.html

The extension of README should be .md, otherwise github doens't render it as markdown.

Seems the parser doesn't work when building for/running on android 1.6. It doesn't error just doesn't fill fields. When I call load feed returns 0 items, is not null but zero length. If I change the target to 2.2 then the feed returns items. If I debug through the code the difference appears here in RSSHandler:

public void startElement(String nsURI, String localName, String qname, org.xml.sax.Attributes attributes)

qname is "" in the Android1.6 where in 2.2 its filled.

the default conection timeout and read timeout of HttpURLConnection is -1 which means the socket will always wait to read data and block the user thread forever if server not finish the connect,so the user thread seems to stop running.
to fix this bug may change "load" method of "RSSReader" like below:

    ......
    private int readTimeout=30000;
    private int connectTimeout=30000;
    ......
    public RSSFeed load(String uri) throws RSSReaderException{
            ......
            HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
            conn.setConnectTimeout(readTimeout);
            conn.setReadTimeout(connectTimeout);
            conn.connect();
            ......
}

Hi everybody
This is my rss and it won't work in this library

http://yazd.irib.ir/news/-/asset_publisher/Z10PWtuy88n7/rss

i would know why!

Thanks

All the classes package names are wrong - with an addition of words like "test,com.." or so.

I'm kind of new to android - I'm unable to import this..

You think it's just missing a file for eclipse to import??

Would love the help.
