Hi,

When you say "ran the site through"  does "site" mean what is returned as the 
RSS feed or something else? 

What was the nature of the errors reported?

It looks like there is a little background work to do to discover what we are 
dealing with before we know exactly how we should process the feed.

Hi,

I suspect (but haven't verified it) that the BostonEventList data might
possibly not be well-formed.

I ran the site through the W3 validator http://validator.w3.org/ some
time ago (and again now), and it comes up with a number of errors.
Having a site be valid XHTML is a critical prerquisite to getting on
top of Google's list.



If this is the case (first, need to verify that well-formedness is
really the problem) there are tidy-up utilities available, but we'd
have to see whether they are suitable for Android. 



Thanks,

Bea

  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.
