How to add RSS feeds

03-08-2011, 12:23 PM

I am a newbie and am trying to figure out how to add RSS feed from the camelcamelcamel.com website to my Android phone. The built-in News reader says that the link is invalid, when I add the link that ends in .xml

Which newsreader are you using and which RSS URL are you trying to enter?

I tried the "News" and the "Google Reader" applications on the EVO 4G which is an Android phone. The URL I copy/pasted was:

Thanks for your help.

I'm wondering if it doesn't work because there are no entries (my fault for not providing a "no entries" message in the RSS feed.)

Will you please try adding this RSS feed to your reader? It has some entries, and will help verify that my theory is correct: http://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B...0AK/amazon.xml

Happy to help!

Yes it works but it is giving the price history for a single item - I think a Mitsubishi TV and not my wish list.

Right, I just wanted to make sure that our feeds work in general. I will look into a fix for this bug and try to get it launched ASAP. Sorry about the inconvenience in the meantime!
