Android RSS

Anyone have any fist hand experience with this? Will be wanting it to power an app I'm working on, the feed would be coming from a wordpress powered website (personal website self hosted)

I have found a couple of feed solutions that work by embedding JavaScript into html, it can work pretty well. Have a look at this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gpracefanf&hl=en and if the rss presentation is does what you want, you can use https://www.rssinclude.com/ to do the same thing, I run something else but it looks similar.

The Android RSS plugin should handle Wordpress feeds just fine. I know I've got them to work before.

Just back to my mac for a quick fix and I checked up on how I did the RSS in my app. I started with RSS includes, but then I switched, If you check out the feed at http://feed2js.org/index.php?s=build that is the product I now use, but the source code for that is published (github I think). I run that on my own server so that I am not dependent on an external service going down (just my own lol). When I did all this, @Chris1's RSS plugin was not available. Hope that helps, Alan

Alan -- I agree with LA, nice depiction of the quotes! How did you create it in the code? Is it Control Panel driven? Do you have an iOS equivalent? Questions! :-) -- Niraj
