I am trying to run a tutorial I found online with this feed address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheTechnologyEdge
I am able to run the program just fine when using other RSS feeds, but I specifically need the feed that I listed above. I am sure the solution is relatively simple, but I cannot seem to figure out why this address will not work but others will. Below is the code I am using.
public class SolsticeRSSReaderActivity extends ListActivity
{
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
private List headlines;
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
private List links;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@SuppressWarnings(
{ "unchecked", "rawtypes" })
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
headlines = new ArrayList();
links = new ArrayList();
try
{
URL url = new URL("http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TheTechnologyEdge");
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
// We will get the XML from an input stream
xpp.setInput(getInputStream(url), "UTF_8");
/*
* We will parse the XML content looking for the "<title>" tag which
* appears inside the "<item>" tag. However, we should take in
* consideration that the rss feed name also is enclosed in a
* "<title>" tag. As we know, every feed begins with these lines:
* "<channel><title>Feed_Name</title>...." so we should skip the
* "<title>" tag which is a child of "<channel>" tag, and take in
* consideration only "<title>" tag which is a child of "<item>"
*
* In order to achieve this, we will make use of a boolean variable.
*/
boolean insideItem = false;
// Returns the type of current event: START_TAG, END_TAG, etc..
int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT)
{
if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG)
{
if (xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("item"))
{
insideItem = true;
}
else if (xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("title"))
{
if (insideItem)
headlines.add(xpp.nextText()); // extract the
// headline
}
else if (xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("link"))
{
if (insideItem)
links.add(xpp.nextText()); // extract the link of
// article
}
}
else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG
&& xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("item"))
{
insideItem = false;
}
eventType = xpp.next(); // move to next element
}
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (XmlPullParserException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Binding data
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, headlines);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
/*
* take as an argument the feed url, and returns the input stream
*/
public InputStream getInputStream(URL url)
{
try
{
return url.openConnection().getInputStream();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
return null;
}
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id)
{
Uri uri = Uri.parse(links.get(position) + "");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
After I fixed the Atom issue, when I try to implement my listener I get this error. I tracked it down a bit in debug, and it seems like my uri variable is null and does not contain the html like it does when I was using this as an RSS feed.
