App like weather

nighthorse · 08-11-2008, 08:13 PM

hello,

I just need a little hint to get started with a small app idea i have. I want to parse some XML data from the web into my app. Should work a little like the weather app with a small icon (eg. Clouds) and a small Text (eg. Degrees). can you just tell me a good tutorial or how-to page to get started in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

I believe apple has an example of parsing XML from a web service here: SeismicXML

I don't know what you want to do with the clouds... do you just want to display a picture? do you want the picture to be in a list?

There's a tutorial here on setting up custom UITableViewCells, which could be useful if you wanted to display a list of Clouds with associated data.

Have you been able to finish your weather app?
