Any thoughts as to how I could create the array manually, in the same format as when there is more then one item returned. I’ve tried this but it isn’t working.

This is how it is when more than 1 item is returned.
$.getJSON( url, function( data ){
events = data.query.results.rss;

When only one item is returned I have tried this but it doesn’t work.

$.getJSON( url, function( data ){
if (data.query.count == 1)
{
events = [
{
channel: [
{
item: [
{pubDate: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.pubDate},
{title: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.title},
{link: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.link},
{description: [
{content: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.description.content}
]
}
]
}
]
}
];
}
else
{
events = data.query.results.rss;
}

Finally have it working. I ended up building the array manually if there is only one item in the RSS feed.

phoneui.showActivityDialog(‘Loading events…’);
$.getJSON( url, function( data ){
if (data.query.count == 1)
{
events =[
{
channel:
{
item:
{
pubDate: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.pubDate,
title: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.title,
link: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.link,
description:
{
content: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.description.content
}
}
}
}
];
}
else
{
events = data.query.results.rss;
}

And then I thought I’d check for when no items are returned. Thinking I could check for count = 0 I was surprised to find out that count = 1 for when no items are found. So I had to check if a field was undefined to branch appropriately. For the non-existent link for the showFullEvent function I just test if link is not equal to “no link” and don’t open the URL.

phoneui.showActivityDialog(‘Loading events…’);
$.getJSON( url, function( data ){
if (data.query.count == 1) {
if (typeof data.query.results.rss.channel.item === ‘undefined’)
{
events =[ { channel: { item: {
pubDate: addMinutes(new Date(), -30),
title: “No Upcoming Events”,
link: “no link”,
description:
{content: “Check back again soon…”} } } } ];
}
else
{
events =[ { channel: { item: {
pubDate: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.pubDate,
title: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.title,
link: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.link,
description:
{content: data.query.results.rss.channel.item.description.content} } } } ];
}
}
else
{
events = data.query.results.rss;
}

And the function…

function showFullEvent() {
var url = events[curEventIdx].channel.item.link;
if (url != “no link”) {
window.open(url,”_blank”); }

Hi sjrowny,

Can you post a small version of your project, some details about it, the code you have already written and where you are stuck. Then we can review it and provide you some feedback.

[StephenBrown]

Thanks for replying, but I have got it all working. The code I used is in the last few posts.

So all is good. The app is working well.

Hi there

I was wondering is there a way to add a icon to the rss feed?

I mean it goes something like

——————————-
_______
| | Title
| Icon | Description
|______| Date

——————————-

the icon is already in the app

regards

Jeremy

@ayubsamar, et al,
We are developing an experimental componentized approach for an RSS reader. I hope to have more info in 2-3 weeks. If it all works out then we can replace of this shenanigan custom list stuff with a super simple approach.
