can we parse the Rss feed containg the link tag which contains image in html format

I am doing a Mobile Updates project an Android APP developing which needs to get the daily updates of new launched mobiles in market.
So for this i used the following link :http://techiedreams.com/android-simple-rss-reader/
By using the rss feed of link: (http://mobiles.sulekha.com/rss/latest-mobile-updates.htm)
and obtained the feeds from it the title and description also but could not get the image i am unable to understand how to parse it .
my Dom parser code as modified from the sample code:
package com.example.mobileupdates.parser;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
public class DOMParser {
private RSSFeed _feed = new RSSFeed();
public RSSFeed parseXml(String xml) {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(xml);
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(e1.getMessage());
}
try {
// Create required instances
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf;
dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
// Parse the xml
Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
// Get all <item> tags.
NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");
int length = nl.getLength();
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
Node currentNode = nl.item(i);
System.out.println(nl.getLength());
RSSItem _item = new RSSItem();
NodeList nchild = currentNode.getChildNodes();
int clength = nchild.getLength();
System.out.println("length" + clength);
System.out.println("nodes" + nchild);
// Get the required elements from each Item
for (int j = 0; j < clength; j = j + 1) {
Node thisNode = nchild.item(j);
String theString = null;
String nodeName = thisNode.getNodeName();
theString = nchild.item(j).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
if (theString != null) {
if ("title".equals(nodeName)) {
// Node name is equals to 'title' so set the Node
// value to the Title in the RSSItem.
_item.setTitle(theString);
}
else if ("description".equals(nodeName)) {
_item.setDescription(theString);
// Parse the html description to get the image url
String html = theString;
org.jsoup.nodes.Document docHtml = Jsoup
.parse(html);
Elements imgEle = docHtml.select("img");
_item.setImage(imgEle.attr("src"));
}
else if ("pubDate".equals(nodeName)) {
// We replace the plus and zero's in the date with
// empty string
String formatedDate = theString.replace(" +0000",
"");
_item.setDate(formatedDate);
}
}
}
// add item to the list
_feed.addItem(_item);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
// Return the final feed once all the Items are added to the RSSFeed
// Object(_feed).
return _feed;
}
}
By changing this block of code i got title and description but no image obtained
// Get the required elements from each Item
for (int j = 0; j < clength; j = j + 1) {
please help me in obtaining it or can we have any other ways to do thi application without rss feeds

Android XML Parser isnt working

I am writing an android application with a XML parser.
I have a parser that used to work but when I run it it isnt doing anything.

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

And the logcat output is worthless.
I didnt change the code but its just not working anymore.

What is the exception?
Couple of things can happen. It might be when you try to get URL from web service. Might be because you have to do your code in an AsyncTask.
I suggest you right click a line you suspect and Toggle Breakpoint, then go on your class in Package Explorer right-click it and go to "Debug As" then "Debug Configuration". Click Debug button after checking you're debugging the right project.
Welcome to debug mode, just try to see which line is causing the exception.

please guide me how i can put this code into android listview
Create a subclass of BaseAdapter that wraps around your parsed DOM and returns rows as requested via getView(). This is not significantly different than using ArrayAdapter for an ArrayList or CursorAdapter for a Cursor, except that you have to do more of the work yourself, since there is no DOMAdapter in Android.
