An RSS-driven webapp is very doable but currently will require a bit of hand coding since MobiOne does not yet provide an RSS data control. We have plans to introduce richer data-driven components asap. Atm we are concentrating much of our energy on improving the intuitiveness of the designer before adding many new design components. Watch for more details in this area in the next month or so.

Genuitec Mobile TeamIs there a way to insert RSS now?
i just got this development centre today and need that function.
Thanks guysHelp me understand what you mean my RSS feed? Are you looking for an RSS reader, some non-UI RSS input component to parse an RSS stream or something else?
Wayne
Genuitec Mobile TeamA simple reader in a form of a component or a template page (but with access to simple actions such as go back to last window).
Let’s say I’m creating an App for myself, I could make a page with the Feed from my personal blog.Right now I found an alternative, which is a little buggy but better than nothing: http://www.thesmespace.com/smeutils/feed/
[New reply ’cause I’ve found a better workaround]
Since there is still no documentation for MB1 and this forum has few active people, I’d though it would be good to share the solution I found to this problem.I am still using the site I mentioned above, but now I have it inside my app, with the possibility to go back to my prev pages. I’ll try to cover all details.
I created a new project, added the ‘Back’ buton at the top left corner, and a transparent Panel covering all the screen. I’m not sure whether the panel is really needed or not, didn’t test without it.
Save the project with the same name of your main .mobi file, in a different folder of course. This will avoid that you have multiple copies of the generated files. Run the project, and you can now close this project.
Go to the .html generated and add an <iframe> tag inside your panel, with the src to your feed generated by http://www.thesmespace.com/smeutils/feed/. e.g.:<iframe src="http://www.thesmespace.com/smeutils/feed/?url=http://yourfeedurlhere.com" width="320" height="480"></iframe>Now save this html, rename it as you wish and copy it to the same folder your index html is. Then create a link to it, I did it like this:
javascript:window.open('myfeedhtml.html','_self')If you test it and your ‘Back’ button does not appear, you may need to copy it from the generated files to your /images folder of the project and copy the .css files to, and also change the reference to it on the myfeedhtml.html file.
Your result should look something like this:
All suggestions are appreciated, and don’t hesitate if you have any questions.
Interesting … but is that site there to stay? I mean, what happens if they take that site away, all the apps pointing there would stop working. It’s the only alternative right now and free so really good … just worring as it could disappear.
I just posted an example RSS Reader webapp that I created today with MobiOne. See the thread on it here:
