i have a problem is: how to read RSS feeds while offline. it means that while online i can save some feeds for offline reading

can you help me or suggest me how to do that thanks very much

There is no way to access online content unless you save it offline. That's it :) — An SO User, Dec 10 '14 at 15:39

WebView webView = new WebView( context );
webView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize( 5 * 1024 * 1024 ); // 5MB 
webView.getSettings().setAppCachePath( getApplicationContext().getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath() );
webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess( true );
webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled( true );
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled( true );
webView.getSettings().setCacheMode( WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT ); // load online by default

if ( !isNetworkAvailable() ) { // loading offline 
    webView.getSettings().setCacheMode( WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK );
} 

webView.loadUrl( "http://your.feed.url" );

This is how you will save the webpage offline. The isNetworkAvailable() looks like this:

private boolean isNetworkAvailable() { 
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService( CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE );
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo != null;
}
