Hello, I am trying to create my first Android application and I'm not all that experienced with Java development. In short, the application needs to do the following:

  • On click, fetch a RSS feed online
  • Parse it for data
  • Show the data

I've been browsing for guides, tutorials and documentation but the parsers I've found so far only deal with local strings or files or are way too complicated for me to go through at this point.

  1. Can you provide me a link to a good XML parser class (that is included in the Android SDK)
  2. Provide me with an example of its use.
  3. An example of how the feed would get fetched from the Internet (curl? or something internal?)
  4. (Bonus) Tips and hints on how this would be best achieved.

Thanks in advance.
