Only error showing is null, rss feed reader not working
- by Callum
I have been following a tutorial which is showing me how to create an rssfeed reader, I come to the end of the tutorial; and the feed is not displaying in the listView. So I am looking for errors in logCat, but the only one I can find is one just saying 'null', which is not helpful at all.
Can anyone spot a potential problem with the code I have written?
Thanks.
