does anyone know how to get the image from Yahoo weather and display it on the android? The Image that I'm using and the website that I'm using to retrieve the weather is http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=1062617&u=c
It is in RSS format. I'm able to retrieve the weather information, however, I couldn't retrieve the image of the weather. May I know is there any ways to retrieve it? I'm a newbie to android and I'm using Eclipse.
I would need your kind advice. Thank you
