I've manipulated some code from the Blog Reader app but for some reason it's only showing me the appropriate number of items that SHOULD be displayed with no actual text. Here's the code I think is relative:
if(mRSSData == null) {
updateDisplayForError();
} else {
try {
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> rssPosts =
new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
for (int i = 0; i < mRSSData.size(); i++) {
String title = Html.fromHtml(mRSSData.get(i)).toString();
System.out.println("THIS IS FROM HANDLERSS RESPONSE" + title);
HashMap<String, String> rssPost = new HashMap<String, String>();
rssPost.put("KEY_TITLE", title);
rssPost.put("KEY_AUTHOR", "josh");
rssPosts.add(rssPost);
}
String[] keys = {KEY_TITLE, KEY_AUTHOR};
int[] ids = { android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2};
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, rssPosts,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, keys, ids);
setListAdapter(adapter);
} catch (Exception e) {
logException(e);
}
}
and this part:
protected List<String> doInBackground(Object[] objects) {
int responseCode;
List<String> sourceCode;
String tempString = "";
try {
URL rssFeedUrl = new URL("http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch/startups");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) rssFeedUrl.openConnection();
connection.connect();
responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(rssFeedUrl.openStream()));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
if(line.contains("<title>")) {
int firstPos = line.indexOf("<title>");
String temp = line.substring(firstPos);
temp = temp.replace("<title>", "");
int lastPos = temp.indexOf("</title>");
temp = temp.substring(0, lastPos);
tempString += temp+"\n";
System.out.print(tempString);
} // end if statement
} // end while loop
} else{
Log.i(TAG, "Unsuccessful HTTP Response Code: " + responseCode);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
logException(e);
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
logException(e);
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
logException(e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(tempString.split("\\n"));
sourceCode = new ArrayList<String>(list);
return sourceCode;
}
I've spent the last 3 hours trying everything. Still super noob but learning! Let me know what else I can try to help debug it.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,577 PointsOmg I am an idiot. My mistake was making KEY_TITLE into a string "KEY_TITLE". Seriously 3 hours of not looking at my code carefully. Take that, me.
