Method and apparatus for receiving data from a plurality of feed sources
The present specification relates generally to computing devices and more particular relates to a method and apparatus for receiving data from a plurality of feed sources at a plurality of servers via a mobile device comprising a processor interconnected with a display. In one aspect, the mobile device is configured to start a feed service; register feed adapters with the feed service; receive content data via the feed adapters; and generate a list view of the content data on a display of the mobile device.
1. A method of receiving data from a plurality of feed sources at a plurality of servers via a mobile device, the mobile device having a processor interconnected with a display, the method comprising:
starting, via the processor of the mobile device, a feed service forming part of a feed application that is executed by the processor;
registering, via the processor, feed adapters with the feed service, the feed adapters forming part of the feed application;
receiving content data via the feed adapters; and
controlling the display to generate a list view of the content data.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the feed adapters connecting to the servers.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising registering, via the processor, listeners with the feed adapters.
4. The method of claim 3 further comprising starting, via the processor, a content listener, wherein the registering listeners comprises the content listener registering the listeners with the feed adapters.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving content data comprises receiving pending content.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving content data comprises receiving new content.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling the display to generate the list view of the content data comprises displaying the content data via a viewer.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the controlling the display to generate the list view of the content data comprises starting the viewer.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the controlling the display to generate the list view of the content data further comprises the viewer retrieving the content from the feed service.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the controlling the display to generate the list view of the content data further comprises the viewer connecting to the feed service.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising retrieving accounts for the feed adapters.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the retrieving accounts comprises retrieving the feed adapters associated with the feed service and requesting all accounts associated with each the feed adapters.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving content data comprises retrieving a pre-determined amount of content from a server.
14. A mobile device for receiving data from a plurality of feed sources at a plurality of servers, the mobile device comprising:
a display; and
a processor configured to:
start a feed service that forms part of a feed application that is executed by the processor;
register feed adapters with the feed service, the feed adapters forming part of the feed application;
receive content data via the feed adapters; and
control the display to generate a list view of the content data.
15. The mobile device of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to connect the feed adapters to the servers.
16. The mobile device of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to register listeners with the feed adapters.
17. The mobile device of claim 16 wherein the processor is further configured to start a content listener, the registering the listeners comprises the content listener registering the listeners with the feed adapters.
18. The mobile device of claim 14 , wherein the receive content data comprises receiving pending content.
19. The mobile device of claim 14 , wherein the receive content data comprises receiving new content.
20. A computer program product, for a mobile device comprising a processor interconnected with a display, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer-readable code adapted to be executed on the processor to implement a method of receiving data from a plurality of feed sources at a plurality of servers via the mobile device, the method comprising:
starting, via the processor, a feed service forming part of a feed application that is executed by the processor;
registering, via the processor, feed adapters with the feed service, the feed adapters forming part of the feed application;
receiving content data via the feed adapters; and
controlling the display to generate a list view of the content data.
