Hi all,

We're trying to populate an array with some stuff from an RSS feed continuously. Problem is that it all loads the first time but won't refresh after that -- it's as if there's a cache that won't clear. Any ideas? The RSS feed is stable and refreshes just fine from a browser or reader. Using XMLElement... Thanks for any advice!

void startfeed() {
 XMLElement rss = new XMLElement(this, url);
 XMLElement[] titleXMLElements = rss.getChildren("entry/title");  
 messages = new String[titleXMLElements.length];
 for (int i=0; i<titleXMLElements.length; i++) {
   String message = titleXMLElements[i].getContent();
   messages[i] = message;
 }
}


void updatefeed() {
 XMLElement rss = new XMLElement(this, url);
 XMLElement[] titleXMLElements = rss.getChildren("entry/title");  
 for (int i=0; i<titleXMLElements.length; i++) {
   String message = titleXMLElements[i].getContent();
   // CHECK IF WE ALREADY HAVE IT
   int foundit = 0;
   for (int j=messages.length-14; j<messages.length; j++) {
     String s1 = message.substring(0,10);
     String s2 = message.substring(0,10);    
     if (s1.equals(s2)) {
       foundit = 1;
     }
   }
   if (foundit == 0) {
     int l = messages.length;
     messages = expand(messages, l+1);
     messages[l] = message;
   }    
 }
}
