Which is the way to add on my app rss notification from a webisitE? Basicly my app is just a navigation drawer with some tabs that open the menus automatically same pages open.
 
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...
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30820974/android-rss-reader-with-notifications
https://www.androidauthority.com/simple-rss-reader-full-tutorial-733245/

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

the second one link, i do not think that it can push notifications of the users. its like a reader only
 
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?

thats very good of you, i tried many times on stackoverflow but i know there many many good programmers, i took some balls instead.

https://github.com/indywidualny/fNotifier
this is the project, i like it because it has some custom options, LED notifications.
The problem with me right now is that i tried to import 'manualy' code from his source code to mine.
can you tell me which exactly i need to copy?

whats the error :/ see the screenshot

EDIT: OK i found the error

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"

Thanks for the answer, the problem tho is that i need to merger somehow his code with the navigationdrawer app i will be using.
 
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.

i agree with you, i do not have programming knowledge , only python and pascal. relevant to android dev, i been trying to learn java or kotlin i am not good at reading tho :/

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.

So the copy pasting of one project to another isn't good idea ? Hmmm
 
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.
