MC LAB Exno 9

The document describes the steps to develop an Android application that uses an RSS feed. It involves creating a new project in Android Studio, designing the layout with a list view, adding permissions to access the internet, parsing an RSS feed from a URL to extract headlines and links into arrays, displaying the headlines in the list view, and launching a browser when items are clicked. The application is implemented using AsyncTask to load the RSS feed in the background, and displays the headlines successfully.

Step – 2 : Then select the Minimum SDK as shown below and click Next.

Step – 3 : Then select the Empty Activity and click Next. 

Step – 4 : Click on app -> res -> layout -> activity_main.xml.

Step – 5 : Click on app -> java -> com.example.exno10 -> MainActivity.

Step – 6 : Display the result.

Step – 7 : Terminate the program.
