Free Android Open Source RSS Reader App

We are moving forward quickly at BuzzBox with our SDK.  There have had many downloads and we want to encourage this further, so we have open sourced a simple RSS Reader App.  So if you have a RSS feed, you can has a custom app in a snap that has notifications and even a task bar.

http://hub.buzzbox.com/android-sdk/demoapp

This is a very simple open source app that uses 3 parts of the BuzzBox SDK:
  • Integrated RSS Parser
  • Notifications Settings
  • Notifications Log

So the app is a simple webview of a website, the current example uses Google News.  It has a background task that checks the RSS feed for a new entry and then gives a notifications when a new entry is posted so the users can come back and not miss anything.  The Notifications Settings provides ways for users to control the notifications and the Notifications Log lets them be sure their battery isn't wasted.  We recommend having both for your users.

This project is hosted on Google Code, so browse the source code there and start playing with it.

Please give us feedback and let us know what more is needed.

We have more things coming up soon.

    I have an issue after using your API. Whenever my mobile (contain application using your API) gets rebooted i get a pop up stating "FORCE CLOSE" of that app. I did not add API key in manifest file. Is that reason for force close pop up??
