Hello, I think Bea referenced the IBM website regarding RSS parser alternatives. I downloaded the application from the website, and massaged the files. I was able to get the application to successfully create an apk and load successfully into the Android Emulator. The application is partially working, but I could use some help debugging it. The application doesn't parse the BostonEventsList. For some reason, it stops before displaying a ListView. I delivered the work I have finished to the SVN Repository in a Android project called MessageList. I will continue to work on it as time permits. I've only just begun to fight.
