1. Purdue Pride 2.24.10

2. Live Wallpapers Unsure if do-able – Couldn’t find anything about RSS => maybe very recent feature => formatting RSS might be an issue – No support for views (which we need) – Can’t display content, only images and animations – Only supported for 2.1 – Wallpaper would be covered by App Icons

3. Widgets Alternative: widgets – Widgets are light-weight applications that run in the background – Can have app icons on top – Slide to get a clear view

4. MySQL vs RSS MySQL – Required PHP page to access MySQL – Widget sends request to PHP page to access contents from database Potential Problems: permission, calling columns and rows from table correctly – Widget stores contents to database – Contents display on widget RSS – Create RSS feed/link on HTML page – Widget pulls contents via link/reader – Widget stores contents to database – Contents display on widget

5. Slide to Open Display Contents Pull Contents from Website Widget runs in the background Pulls contents daily Store Contents to SQL Lite Organize/Format Contents Widget Access content
