This project hosts the source code for few Android RSS reader applications. Each RSS reader provides the following functionality:

• Displays the currently available RSS feeds.
• Tapping on each individual RSS entry opens browser window and forwards to the news URL.
• Resizable home/lock screen widget which displays the titles of the news articles.
• Tapping on the widget displays all currently available RSS feeds.

Each RSS reader can be easily rebranded. You just need to do the following:

• Use the source code in your Android project.
• Change all package declarations.
• Update the manifest file to reflect the package changes.
• Provide your own set of icons.
• Edit the file 'strings.xml' (see below) and provide values of your own.
