I am planning to develop an application for which I need to know the sun rise and sun set times of any day (in atleast an year complete) depending upon the place (zone/city).

Considering that I need to develop such an application for Android and also for a desktop application, I would like to know if there are any APIs or libraries for the same that could help me get these data easily.

PS: Though I mentioned both Android and desktop, the preference is more for the former but it would be nice to use an API that is compliant for both.

Simple Research found the following:

Option that costs money:

Free Solution: Gets you an RSS feed returning a direct link to an XML file with all the data including sunrise / sunset times

PS: You can also compute it directly using algorithms available online, but using an API would probably be best

EDIT: I fixed the bad formatting. My bad.
