Hi, so i have been playing with different news feeds and i have realised the included one has 3 elements feed>entry>title

however, most rss feeds use this layout: rss>channel>item>title

at the moment i can only us the verge as a source as it works but i want to use BBC or Sky news (http://feeds.skynews.com/feeds/rss/uk.xml) which uses the 2nd layout. if i could get it to read through one extra line then it would be perfect! but i cant, i've tried a few different things but haven't managed to get it to work. i would really appreciate it if you could show me how? im new to this!

thanks!

Managed to get the BBC feed working using "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml"

How did you manage that!? I've been trying for so long I've been stuck with the verge 😂😂.

Hopefully we are are going on about the same thing, but I just inputted that URL under the Java folder down to News.java and in there I found: Private static final String NEWS_RSS_URL = "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml"; Changed feed to the above and now I get BBC feeds. Hope this helps. Struggling with the weather bit at the moment

AHH thank you so much! I'll give it a try. Yeah I saw your other post I'm just about to checkout what I've done and I'll send you it

See that doesn't work for me!! Because of the layout of the RSS feeds it can't actually read it cause it does . Only way it would work is if it only had to look through 3 of those not 4 to get to the title. </p> </div> </div> <div class="comment"> <div class="user"> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/tempdj"><img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/40744249?v=4" />tempdj</a> commented <strong> 6 years ago</strong> </div> <div class="markdown-body"> <p>Yeah no worries.
