Apps RSS Feed Reader - Easy to create a simple one for info on a specific topic??

[Diver Doug]

Hi all,

I'm a bit new at this, so please bear with me!

I'm interested in creating a (hopefully!) simple app that just takes data from an RSS feed and displays it on the screen for the app.

For example, if I was interested in car engine tips, and Bob at great-car-tips(dot)com has and RSS feed that releases any new car engine tips as a story (like a news feed of sorts) ontheir site. They have their feed located at great-car-tips(dot)com/feed, or something like. Now, if I wanted to make an app that would simply be what is posted through that feed, what would be the best way to do it? I wold imagine that it wouldn't be that difficult, but I'm not sure of where I could start.

Also, assuming that the above idea is possible, could I include multiple feeds from multiple sources (ie multiple RSS feeds from different sources, but along the same topic).

As I said, the app would be pretty simple; just a way for someone to get current info on a specific topic, with maybe a couple photos/images.

Can anyone help me out here with this on how I could go about creating this? Any code would be very much appreciated!


Thanks in advance, and I hope to hear back with any useful tips!

Best regards,

Diver Doug
