add rss notification from a website on android app

Interesting, I've never used an rss feed in an app. That would be something to look into for me.

Are you trying to get a notification when the feed is updated?
Or are you trying to display the feed?

If it's the latter, then I'd imagine you would display the feed in a TextView.

 

Sorry, I don't. I always keep my communications strictly here on the forums.

Ok looking into this it's gonna take some research and time. Here's a couple of links I found...

I really like the second link, but that is an rss reader without notifications which is not what you're looking for.

 

Yeah, I disabled PM/DM to keep posts in the open on the forum. This way other developers/members can join in and help and other members can learn.

 

Oh don't be embarrassed. Even the best developers were once beginners. Everyone starts at the beginning.

Ok so you found source code for a project and it gives you errors when you import it?

Is it old code? Can you post a link to the project you're trying to import?

 

The correct way to import a project from Github is to clone it to a local repo. In Android Studio, select File -> New -> Project from version control.
Then clone the remote repo using the URL provided on the Github project page - green button labelled "Clone or download"

 

Rather than dive straight into code, you would probably benefit from thinking about how you want your app to look. Sketch out some layouts for the UI. How do you want the workflow to be, that's how the user navigates from screen to screen.

I'm not saying you can't benefit from looking at, or using other people's code, but it might actually be a harder task to try and glue these two applications together, as opposed to starting from the ground up.

Like I say, your first design task will be to visualise how you want the application to look, then start to build layouts which realise that design.

 

This^ is an old project with dated code that will need to be updated. You're probably better off starting from scratch as LV426 suggested. You will definitely need some knowledge of java to create this project.

Good luck and hope all works out.

 

I think LV426 gave you the best advice in post #17. As I also mentioned, that fNotifier code is old and will most likely give you a hard time updating it.

 

Take it one step at a time. As your application centers around reading an RSS feed, I'd look at writing some code which can do that. The links referred to by @GameTheory look very useful. You're probably not going to find code which does exactly what you want. But this stuff will at least get you started in the right direction.

In many ways, adapting existing code is harder than writing it yourself, because you still have to go through the process of understanding what's written. At least by writing from scratch, you completely understand what it's doing, and have total control over the structure of the app.
