That is a new question and should be posted in a new thread!

this question is rather wide! and this is just a suggestion.
you could create a list of categories. For each categori you could read some rss feeds and display the heading in
a spinner or something. when selecting the heading you could open the coresponding uri in a page.

you could use webview to display webpages.

remember google is your friend! The most difficult thing is to formalize the qustion

Reason for edit:: fix code tags

[JHol]

please post your layout.xml file as well

in the code tag, please use... [/code] at the end of code

[JHol]

By the way.. Have you set the uses internet permission in androidmanifest

just add this to your androidmanifest in the manifest section:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

[Vagosm]

here is the code

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.multimedia"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
 --> where i put the internet permition?
    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".RadiosActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".ChatActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".InformationActivity" />
    </application>

</manifest>

[JHol]

yes that should hopefully work:-)

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity

ok, this was a big question

in your xmppsettings.class
creator:
why do you send the chatclient to super?

create instances port,service,userid,and password in their respective types
they should be class variables.

get them from your layout file:something like this
host =(AutoCompleteTextView)getViewById(R.id.host);

[JHol]

a typo in the last post

should be findViewById not getviewbyid

can't you give me an exaple how i make instances port?

[JHol]

I think you have to start on the top xmppsettings and fix your imports before dooing anything with the rest of the code.

Have you installed the smack package(smack.jar) which contains the imports in your code. or is this just copy paste?

[Vagosm]

Yes its piece of code from net and i try to make it to work but i cant...
