I have released version 1.11.5 Release Candidate 1.

Thanks for the update. It really helps to have a good analysis of the problem by the users like you. I’m working on 1.11.4 which has a fix for errors during import of OPML which hangs. I’ll try to put out a dev or beta release and then look at your problem when adding individual feeds. I’ve been doing the updates for the last 2+ years as Tommi has been developing other apps. I am an official contributor.

If I try to add a feed with an invalid url I get an error, obviously. When I then try to save or exit the appliciation it hangs. If I shut it down, it then has no data. Also, shutting the app down while it is saving or updating causes it to no longer save data.

Reinstalling the app is the only way I have found to get it to work again.

Importing feeds from a good list seems to work well, but if I try to manually add a feed and have a typo it dumps everything.

It’s working very well for me now. Thanks again for sharing.

I have been looking for a good, free rss reader for my E71 for a while now. Thanks for sharing your work.

I am also a programming student and Java is one of the languages I’m learning.

I do have an issue though. I can import and open and read and save. Everything works fine. However, when I close the app and reopen it there is no data.

Is this because the S60V3 won’t let the java app write to the file system?

Any clues?

I have read some great articles on code signing. For most carriers you have sign the code to write to the file system. This can be expensive. Also, some do not allow it at all. So, writing with JSR-75 is not practical. Also, reading is prohibited on many locked phones. This link talks about the difficulties with US carriers http://www.nextgenmoco.com/2008/01/so-you-want-to-deploy-j2me-app-in-us.html

We use the RMS to save the feeds. What the rss reader does is to write a serialize method for the feeds which is getStoreString which serializes by separating the parts of the feed by non-printing character such as (char)5 to form a single string. Then, getBytes(“UTF-8″) in Settings to create a byte array with length followed by bytes. This is written to RMS. To restore the feeds there is a deserializer which creates the feeds again. For rss reader there is a constructor which takes the stored string and creates a rss feed from it.

On the other hand, JSR-75 has a problem in that it is not available on most phones and writing to memory has problems in that on some phones (my N80ie, N95, and N85 and the Sun WTK emulator), the user is prompted if it is OK to write to phone memory. This is done endlessly so that it is impossible to complete the write. The read of memory using JSR-75 is not like that so, you can read from memory with a few prompts depending on how many subdirectories that you go.

I think that it is connected with JSR-75 but haven’t used it before.
I would be grateful for any help :)

The program can run in the background, but it does not automatically download feeds in the background. I will consider it, but it may take a while as now I’m busy on other projects. I’m not sure if it could tell if it was in a WiFi spot or not as opposed to GPRS/EDGE/3G. Otherwise, it could load feeds in the background when I have time to do it.
