I am trying to parse the images that are display in this link http://lawncare.ncsu.edu/RSSFeed.aspx and display it in an android device. Right now, I am only able to parse the text associated with the images. Can anyone suggest any ideas on how to go about parsing these images? Preferably not using JSoup because I am already half way down the code.

Try looking at this question over here at : How to parse XML using the SAX parser

specifically the answer given by damiean and his solution.

This is a part of my code where i am parsing the rss feed :

     Bundle b = new Bundle();
 b.putString("title", feed.getItem(position).getTitle());
 b.putString("description", feed.getItem(position).getDescription());
 b.putString("content", feed.getItem(position).getContent());
 b.putString("link", feed.getItem(position).getLink());
 b.putString("pubdate", feed.getItem(position).getPubDate().toString());

What i have done is that the "field" contains both the description(text) and the image . I passed the whole "content" field contents into a WebView and it displays the image as well as the text correctly.

  • I have used his method to parse through the page. But the problem is, the img src is present inside the tag. The text gets displayed. But not the images. – user1454068 Jul 31 '12 at 17:21
  • Okay the only solution i can think of is to take the content inside the tag and copy it into a string and then parsing it to find the "" tag and then passing it to the bitmap into an imageview OR copying the full content inside the "" tag and then passing it into a webview – Android2390 Jul 31 '12 at 17:43
  • I'm sorry, but could you please elaborate more? Also, if you have displayed the contents in a WebView, are you using the browser to display the contents? Because I would not like to do so. – user1454068 Jul 31 '12 at 17:47
  • Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to do. But there are three img src tags and i am able to get hold of only the first one! – user1454068 Jul 31 '12 at 17:50
  • Yes i am using a WebView to display all the contents . The rss feed link is as seen here : http://www.pencilsofpromise.org/feed So what i do is i take all the contents inside of the "content" tag and load it into the webview but since you want an object inside of an object i am not really sure of how to do it in the XML parser but i did a similar kind of thing with the twitter feed and over there i did this : JSONObject obj = samplearr.getJSONObject(index); JSONObject userobj = samplearr.getJSONObject(index).getJSONObject("user"); – Android2390 Jul 31 '12 at 18:03
  • This way i am getting a object within an object. Not sure if this helps you though because i am giving you the example of a JSONObject :) – Android2390 Jul 31 '12 at 18:06

  • Hmmm...this may seem a little off topic...but can I use WebView to parse the page and display it in the app? – user1454068 Jul 31 '12 at 18:31
