public class AndroidGoogleFeedActivity extends Activity {

WebView myWebView;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.main);

myWebView = new WebView(this);
setContentView(myWebView);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/mypage.html");
}
}

function initialize() {
var feed = new google.feeds.Feed("http://feeds.feedburner.com/Android-er");
feed.setNumEntries(10);
feed.load(function(result) {
if (!result.error) {
var container = document.getElementById("feed");
for (var i = 0; i < result.feed.entries.length; i++) {
var entry = result.feed.entries[i];
var div = document.createElement("div");

var A = document.createElement("A");
A.setAttribute("href",entry.link);
A.appendChild(document.createTextNode(entry.title));
div.appendChild(A);

container.appendChild(div);
}
}
});
}

google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
