You have to parse your xml first. - MAC
yeah..I have parsed it..and fetched data from <title> and <description> tags.But I want to know is how to fetch the image URL frm "src" property of <description> - Basim Sherif
What are you parsing it with? SAX? - Cheesebaron
iam using this method to generate custom listview.. androidhive.info/2012/02/… in that example, the RSS feed contains a <image> tag so that we can easily fetch image URL.But in my RSS feed,there is no <image> tag. I have to get the image URL frm "src" property of <description> tag.... - Basim Sherif

First of all, do the parsing in an AsyncTask. In this task you can simply download the images in the HTML/XML you load.

When you load the URL in the background you can call the following routine:

private Bitmap getImageFromURL(URL imgUrl){
        Bitmap bmp = null;

        try {
            HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)imgUrl.openConnection();
            conn.setDoInput(true);
            conn.connect();
            InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

            bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
       } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
       }
       return bmp;  
    }

I have found the solution.....

                        News news=new News();    

                        String img  = news.Description[i];
                        String cleanUp = img.substring(0, img.indexOf(">")+1);
                        img = img.substring(img.indexOf("src=") + 5);
                        int indexOf = img.indexOf("'");
                            if (indexOf==-1){
                            indexOf = img.indexOf("\"");
                           }
                        img = img.substring(0, indexOf);
                        news.image[i]=img;
