Hello guys,

I'm still working on my (simple) RSS Reader app.
I have it working as far as that it displays the listview with the items, which displays an image if there is one and the article title.
Now I managed to make the items go to an URL page, however whatever item i click it allways gets the URL of the last item in the list.

here is the RssReaderActivity:



this is a part of the article class:


I have given a shot at making an array, but I lack the knowledge of how to use those, still I fear I have no other choice then to use an array of some sort to get this working.

Any help would be great!

Hi Kalder,

How's come this part of the onListItemClick event doesn't have anything to do with the postion that was returned? Could that be a problem?

Code: Select all

     URL webURL = Article.url;
     Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(webURL.toString()));
     startActivity(myIntent);


Seems like it would always give you whatever the last value of Article was.

Hope this helps.

PS

How did you make out with your splash screen and progress bar?

I have not continued working on a splash screen or progress bar, I am now focusing on getting the right url on clicking a list item, it's giving me a headache.
I now came to the part that I included the url in the JSONObject for each article which sets the right url for each article, but now i still don't know how to get the url from the clicked article.

Hi Kalder,

Every listview is backed up by an arraylist. Yours should have an array of objects which contain the url that you want. I assume it is an array of articles stored as json? At any rate you should use the position that is returned in the onclick listener for your list, to index to the object in the array, that has the url you want. I'm not sure what your code looks like so its hard to give you an exact example but it should look something like this:

Code: Select all

@Override
        protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
                super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
                URL webURL =  jobs[position].getArticleUrl();    //whatever its called
                 Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(webURL
                               .toString()));                           //if this is what it needs to be
                 startActivity(myIntent);


Hope this helps.

Wow, I feel so smart right now
I added a URL array in the RSSHandler.java which gives me the opportunity to call the correct url by calling to the url array at the position of the clicked listitem... (sorry if i sound confusing, it is confusing to explain but easy to understand i think)
For those interested:

added this to the RSSReader class:

Code: Select all

public static URL[] UrlArray = new URL[ARTICLES_LIMIT];


and this is what happens in the endelement void:

and finally to get the right url on click in the end of the oncreate method:
