Hi all,

I've made a super simple app for reading news using news-api. It shows sources (groupped by categories). So in short, app can:

Add xml feeds sources to the app

Show each source latest news

Show a preview of news (with basic Share and Open in browser options)

Tries to fetch the full content of the news including images

Show latest news of Favorite sourcess

Shows you a bookmarked list or articles

Download on Google Play Store: Latest News

TODO:

optimization everything for the tablet devices

select preferred language

Thank you for being an alpha tester. Please keep in mind that...

I'm opened for requests/ideas

I'll even fix any bugs you find!

Will change the name of the app to something better, since "latest news" will return at least 3029482093480 items when using search on google play store.

Rollout of new release has started:

Version 0.0.1 build 6

- Improved speed of scrolling in Favorites list and News of Source

- Implemented the grabber system which fetches the whole article and parse possible text of article including images (this is alpha of alpha app!)
[Android Apps and Games] paed808:
Nice app, can you please add CBC News (Canadian Broadcasting Company)?
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Thank you for your feedback. One of the next major improvements to app will be possibility of adding custom news pages. I will try me best to add it as soon as possible :) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
[MENTION=4549135]paed808[/MENTION] & others

next release brings adding custom news sources:

[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Another huge update being rolled out today: Custom feeds!

There's been lots of refactoring, small fixes and improvements, but the biggest thing is finally implemented. Adding custom feeds. Just add the url of the news page or direct feed url (example http://www.cbc.ca/news), select a category and hope for the best! :)

Feel free to report any bugs you find.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
After some release-break, here's yet another one. This has been an amazing month with a-lot of effort going towards development. Started as a simple newsapi client, I've got a few requests for which, I was sure it will take a while to implement them all. Since today, Latest News includes:

- a superb wizard just to remind you its beginner friendly,

- revamped source adding, which doesn't relly on newsapi anymore but uses own methods to fetch xml feeds and parse the data,

- super awesome grabber(tm), which downloads and parses the whole article from the websites, removes everything except the text story and images.

- an awesome back-end synchronization, which makes sure, your sources are always safe,

- and increadible new and redesigned menu (yea, this deserves a place on the list too!) and extra animations

It has been an awesome month.

Now, its up to people to start using it :)
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Another update has been pushed to beta channel:

- added feeds Gruenderszene, NBA, JS weekly, Android Police, XDA-developers, Mac Rumors

- update sync so it will now handle a conflict between different remote/local entries; you will now have options to overwrite local, db or merge both,

- added read flag to article after it has been read.

- fixed the issue with images not being overwritten after refreshing the articles

- fixed the width of items which text isn't long,

- synchronizing favorites should now also work better

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce the first PRODUCTION release being rolled out.

Enjoy and don't forget to submit any bugs you find or feeds suggestions you would like to see in the app.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Wow the app is really cool. I will give it a try for a few days and see what It can do. ;)

Just a question: can you add a way to login using Google account? There's a lot of passwords to remember and using Google is much better, with synchronization is superb.

PS: If you need someone to help you translating to portuguese let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] udegbunamchuks:
Finally an app that allows me read short rss feeds in full. Loves it. Please any plans for an import feature so I can import my feedly subscriptions? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
plans to add to XDA labs or f droid?
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi there [MENTION=7750556]PaideLis[/MENTION] and thank you for an positive feedback! :) I will try my best using logging in with Google. Give me few days :good: About the translations... sounds like a plan :) I will keep in touch.

Hi [MENTION=5610334]udegbunamchuks[/MENTION] - Just checked the OPML generated and yes, this is doable. You woulld like to see an option to import the exact OPML file, right? Sadly, it will take longer than one afternoon. Hope to keep you in the app until then :) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
With that, do you just mean if I plan to list the app on both services or completely open-source the code?
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
listing mostly but OS would be nice also.

feel like it would get more love at xda and f Droid.

btw been testing it and working great. been looking for a good rss reader for a long time.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
thank you so much for your feedback. I will bring it on f-droid and xda labs in the future :)
[Android Apps and Games] sourbear:
None of my sources in this app shows any pictures. I even added MTV News since you used that in your screenshots and yours shows pictures for each article. It doesn't show any pictures on mine.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
good evening [MENTION=1101274]sourbear[/MENTION] and thank you for your report. Just for test, please try adding "neowin". There are A LOT of sources, that just don't add image as leading article image (default rss image for specific article). However, it just happened none of your picked up source articles currently dont include any images.

MTV, at that time, had images, I've tested it again and what you found is correct. (Shame on them! :P). Give them all a day or two.... you will start seeing them eventually. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] gilcu3:
math in blogs

This is a great news for me, as I have been using feedMe for some time, but it cannot display mathjax properly.

So, two questions, do you plan to add mathjax/mathml support, and offline support as well?? Right now I tried https://terrytao.wordpress.com/feed/ and the math is not shown properly. Some formulas appear too big, some don't appear at all. Thank you for your work [MENTION=1883065]greglord[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi there :)

I will take a look immediatelly what's going on with those formulas! :eek:

Update [MENTION=7465474]gilcu3[/MENTION]

Just checked the source of the article and... oh my :) So far, I've made the formulas visible, however, since there is so much mixing between paragraphs and images (formulas), the "grabber" does not add texts to the full story. I humby ask for re-test after new update. If the content isn't something that suits you, I will invest more time and refactor the grabber to be more smart.
[Android Apps and Games] gilcu3:
OK, I'll test it again as soon as new build is available...
[Android Apps and Games] mackalilar:
Good app but There must be a widget.
[Android Apps and Games] sourbear:
Ahh, okay. Thank you. neowin shows images. I get it now. Thanks for your reply. Excellent app. :)
[Android Apps and Games] udegbunamchuks:
LOL. I'll most definitely be sticking around sir. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] :
Exactly what I need

A lightweight News Reader

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] meboy:
Closer than most to being truly usable but the UI is still way to big.

Clean and simple though.

Rssdemon, the old version is still the best true work horse RSS feed reader. (It's been on my to-do list for a few years to basically remake it with up to date code.)

Maybe you can add a couple different view modes for more compact and efficient views.

Tried it out. Nice idea with making it easier to add but it is often limiting.

Images should be on the right.

Dark mode should be true black.

The little arrow on the right is redundant.
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
its indeed a promising app..

the clean ui is simple and very nice..

sometimes the thumbnails for news items are not loaded, and certain characters in news items are shown as corrupted (probably charset issue)..

and the dark mode could use a bit further polish (e.g. the colours are not really "dark" enough, and thus the contrast is not very significant)..

also, looking very much forward to the import/export OPML function..

all in all, a nice and promising app that fills the rss feeder category well.. keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Anghirrim:
Great job, always good to see a new app popoing up.

I'll try as soon as OPML import is supported. I'm a lazy guy ;).
[Android Apps and Games] Benoe:
I would love to have a way to synchronize the feeds with Tiny Tiny RSS,
[Android Apps and Games] ShantyM:
Nice app.

Mostly of the time I use Feedly as my base platform.

It would be nice to synch between this app and felt.
[Android Apps and Games] udegbunamchuks:
Mark as read feature needed
[Android Apps and Games] FabreFaction:
Great no-nonsense, fast and lightweight news reader.

I like the clean UI.

Dark Mode, awesome - the colour scheme is fine by me, as long as I don't have to look at black text on a white background I'm happy.

Question.........

If I add a custom source, is this added to the apps catalogue/database of News Sources so other users can search for it?

Or is it simply added to my local catalogue/database of News Sources?

Suggestion..........

If you are going to rename the app at some point you could run a poll on XDA.

Ask for suggestions if you like, pick a few you personally like, and run a poll.

Great work [MENTION=1883065]greglord[/MENTION]

Interesting LinkedIn profile by the way, you look like a talented fellow.

Have a groovy day............................. FF
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi [MENTION=7962973]mackalilar[/MENTION]

I will write it to my TODO list. Got any wishes specifically how the Widget should look like?
[Android Apps and Games] mackalilar:
It must same "rss widget" app there is playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] Anghirrim:
[MENTION=1883065]greglord[/MENTION]

While trying to import opml, it fails with error "error fetching the file".

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Can you paste me the content or send me a file somehow so I can immediatelly find the issue and patch it? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Anghirrim:
Yep, see below, it's a opml renamed as txt (xda app didn't want opml files)
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Thank you so much for submitting the file. I've found the issue and published new version. It should appear in your Google Play soon :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Anghirrim:
You rock!

Import works. I'll test now. :D
[Android Apps and Games] vit_labs:
Good app :)
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Hey [MENTION=1883065]greglord[/MENTION] I don't know what's happening but when I add a Brazilian site it doesn't load the entire feed, could you test this to see what I'm talking about?

The link is:

www.tudocelular.com

Thankyou.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
On it... give me few minutes :)

[MENTION=7750556]PaideLis[/MENTION] Actually,... its never just few minutes as you probably noticed. I've tested the TudoCelular through and got few interesting results. With that, I've had to refactor and update the Grabber wasn't a 5 minute work. Expect to see TudoCelular under the pre-defined DB sources with a proper texts being fetched from server in the upcoming release.

There are still images which currently somehow don't want to cooperate, but I'll take a look in them soon.
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Thankyou let's wait then. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
[MENTION=7750556]PaideLis[/MENTION] & [MENTION=7465474]gilcu3[/MENTION]

New version is rolling out which fixes the issues with your favorite pages (Terry Tao Blog & TudoCelular).

With that, grabber has been revamped a bit and will now also properly merge different HTML elements. Thanks for waiting :)
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
You're the best man keep up the good work. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] udegbunamchuks:
Lol. I get that a lot. Thanks. I tried it out just now and some feeds weren't loading data. No worries though. I think I'll just move my short rss feeds from Feedly to your app and continue using Feedly for my full rss feeds

I was actually looking for a way to mark an entire source as read...not just a single article in a source. Hopefully that's possible
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi,

- would you be so kind and send me those feeds (as OPML) so I can update the grabber so that they will load the data?

- mark full source as read will come in too

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] udegbunamchuks:
Sent it to your inbox :o:good:
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi [MENTION=5610334]udegbunamchuks[/MENTION] and everyone else,

There's new version rolling out as we speak which ads quite a few new feeds in the database and updates the grabber to better ignore the unneeded elements.

These feeds have been added:

AndroidTelegraph, Hollywood Life, Sugabelly Rocks, DailyMail TV&Showbiz, 9to5mac, AddictiveTips, Ampercent, Android Advices, Android Central, Inside BlackBerry and Inside BlackBerry Help, CrackBerry, Craving Tech, Diary Of A Geek, Digital Inspiration, Dragon Blogger Technology, GizChina GizmoChina, GSMArena, HardwareZone Singapore, HowTo Geek, iMore, LaptopMedia, MacWorld, Lenovo Forums, Lifehacker, MobileTechReview, MobileTrends.co.ke, MSPoweruser, NeedRom, Sammobile, Phone Arena, techweez, Top Tech News and Windows Central
[Android Apps and Games] udegbunamchuks:
Thanks man :good::o
[Android Apps and Games] gilcu3:
Just tried the new version, all formulas appear ok :) Only glitch is that they appear one below the other, when sometimes they are meant to be side by side, or inline. In the inline case, they only appear after the end of the paragraph, making it really hard to know where did it come from. On the other hand, trying a blogspot blog https://petr-mitrichev.blogspot.com/2017/10/a-randomized-week.html, images don't appear. I'm really graceful for your work...
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi [MENTION=7465474]gilcu3[/MENTION] and everyone else :)

New update is just rolling out! :)

Implemented two new functions:

- mark all articles as read on current source

- settings: download images of news only when on wifi connection

Fixes:

- dark mode glitches

Added new sources:

- TERAZ, České noviny, TA3 and WebNoviny,

- Algorithms Weekly by Petr Mitrichev

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Anghirrim:
Is there any option to have an opening page that shows all new articles from all sources ?

I only found the option to go source by source.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi there [MENTION=4027505]Anghirrim[/MENTION] and thanks for your feedback.

Currently, there are two options:

- you mark several sources as favorite and use the favorite page (you can even set the favorite page as default in settings)

- you check the source and swipe left/right to jump directly to another source

If you would still want to read all sources as favorites, I'll think about how I can implement this as fast as possible and without needing to wait for all to load.

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Hey [MENTION=1883065]greglord[/MENTION] I'm using your app until now and noticed two things missing:

1 - The app don't auto-update when opened, I have to open feed by feed to this;

2 - You could highlight the unread feed on start page, because there's no way to know what's new since last usage.

Thank you for your patience and kindness.

Edit: the swipe is here, idk why isn't working. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
the app is getting better and better.. ;)

one feature request.. now that the OPML import is working, will there be an OPML export function added?

tia..
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi there [MENTION=7750556]PaideLis[/MENTION] :)

Currently app really doesn't auto-update sources when opened. At the time, you have to trigger refresh manually on the main page on top right corner with refresh button. I will include the feature in the next release (probably with new setting).

Highlighting unread sources will also be implemented in the upcoming release.

About the swipe issue, I'll take a look at it.

Hi [MENTION=3638617]iamelton[/MENTION],

Yes, the OPML export will also get implemented, lets say.. next release? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Anghirrim:
Another good feature is opml auto update. When you add a new source, the app creates a new opml automaticaly.

It exists on Flym, this is a good feature to cherry pick.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
1.0.0.48

Good evening all,

new release is being rolled out. These are all the updates:

Updates & fixes:

- Fixed issue with logging in after having local sources

- Fixed issue with bookmarking article then refreshing the source

- Fixes to dark-mode

- Fixed reset settings

- Fixed sources: Vecer, Arstechnica, Teraz, Ta3, Ceske noviny and Webnoviny

- Added OPML export (@iamelton)

- Added 24-hour time, depending on your locale

- Added custom categories to the list when adding new source

- Added auto-refresh sources on app startup (@PaideLis)

- Added unread number badge to sources on main page (@PaideLis)

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Hey [MENTION=1883065]greglord[/MENTION] infinite scroll is not working here, could you take a look at this?

This is so funny lol: :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hello :)

I dont understand. If there are no sources, there's no scorlling. I'd love to fix non working infinite scroll, the only problem being... I do not know where o_O
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
(English is not my native language)

Let me try again, when I open a source and then scroll down the feed, it stops. See below just show 10/27 news, if I want to see some old news like 10/20 I can't, understood now? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Ah, I get it. Is this happening only at TudoCelular or any other source too?

Currently, I cannot reproduce this behaviour on my Galaxy S6. I'll triy different Emulators.
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Not really, it happens with all my sources too.

lelivros.com

and

mundowiihack.wordpress.com

Thanks for the quick response.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi, i was just able to randomly reproduce the issue. Now I've had to find out why does that happen ^^

update:

got it. let's say you've downloaded 20 news from a source yesterday. today, you open the source, the app triggers the update event. It will now download the new news and hide old one you downloaded yesterday. If you go to main page and to the source page again, you will see all of the unread news.

This is currently a workaround and I will address the issue as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] PaideLis:
Thank you.

Dude you're amazing. Sorry for didn't answer sooner, good to know this. :good:

Let's wait for a fix then. Thank you again.
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
1.0.0.49

New release is on its way which fixes the issue :)
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
anyway you can add thumbnails on the article list?

edit: i notice they sometimes show up depending the feed.

overall can u get more images to pull in to the article?
[Android Apps and Games] greglord:
Hi there and thank you for trying Latest News :P

Exactly, the images in the source-news are there, if the app can find the image tag inside rss. If not, the "grabber" will try to fetch it while loading whole news. Can I find out which source would you like to see more optimized with more images and I will take a look.

Regards,

Gregor
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
thanks for the reply :good: really like the app :highfive:

it sounds like you got it as optimized as possible for pulling in images.

there wasn't just one site. i was just browsing around noticed some sites didn't have images.

Feedback for 2 hours use

The Rom works good except

1. FC of System UI in some cases, like taking a screenshot and pressing the back button.

2. FC of some apps that get installed from sources other than GP.

3. Some apps do not have icons.

4. SD card has serious issues like it doesn't appear on the PC after USB connect. Also, it doesn't appear in the explorer app which causes a FC.

5. SU binaries are occupied.

I really like it more than the other roms but it is still beta.
