This Corona SDK based app takes advantage of the new widget APIs for tableViews and the navigation bar. It borrows on community code to implement a tabBar controller and manage the XML feed for the RSS feed as well as our recently contributed RSS reader code.

It also includes InMobi ads, though we are still waiting on them to approve the app. NOTE: I really don't like the chicken/egg problem where we have to have the app live before ads get turned on. The app uses several other Corona SDK features like checking for network availability.

The source code for this has been contributed back to the community, and is available on Github: https://github.com/robmiracle/rss.lua.

Enjoy!

Hey
There are no graphics provided in the sample code project so it's a bit hard to get it to work at once without gessing a lot of graphics. There are no possible way for you guys to publish some guideline to all the graphics used in this project?

Thanks anyway for a great work on this app.

There were four graphics used:

a background graphic. Optional, you can simply comment out the code that loads the background image.

an icon. 32x32 used by the tableViewController. Its also optional and you can remove the icon code. These are the two graphics I used to brand the site, and as such I have no intention on sharing them. I guess I could make some place holder graphics.

I replaced the default gradient for the navBarcontroller since the parameter to pass in the gradient doesn't work. If you're happy with the blue bar, then you don't need to.

The last graphic is the back button. I originally tried to use the widget button but you can't change its color or use the pointy shaped back button, so I scored a copy from somewhere and used it. I'll add that to the project. But it will likely be tonight before I can get to it.
