Question

I had made a basic rss reader that reads the feed and display it in listview, then i further tried to improve it by adding tabs and writing a custom adapter,now the next step i want to achieve is to provide the basic capability that whenever a headline (displayed through a textview) is clicked/touched the link associated with it (link has been extracted throught he rss/xml) is launched in the browser. Now, i know that launching the link into browser is an easy one step affair using URI, whats causing trouble is how do i keep the link with the textview it is associated with?

I have implemented the onclicklistener all i need to figure out is how can the retrieval of relevant link can be achieved so that i can make a URI out of it and launch it in the browser.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

You should create a wrapper object with the title and the url. then fill the list view with those objects, and get the url to fire the browser activity.

Something like:

class RssObect {
    string title;
    string url;

    //contructors

    //getters and setters
}

Then on the adapter set the list something like List<RssObect> list = getRssFeed(...)….
Then on item click listener just use the current item selected (list.get(selected).getUrl());
