Sibling to FeeDreader, not a shared module. That was a considered call: its
FeedParser only inspects <enclosure> while hunting for a thumbnail, and its
FilterRuleEngine is 46 lines of title substring matching that doesn't
generalise to queue rules, so only Opml.kt would genuinely have transferred.
The parser is the piece everything else sits on, so it goes first, test-first:
18 tests covering audio/video enclosure selection, iTunes durations in both
second and clock form, season/episode numbers, podcast:chapters for the skip
feature, RFC 5005 archive paging for drip subscriptions, and episode identity
falling back to the enclosure URL when a guid is missing.
Two things worth recording:
- Built on XmlPullParserFactory rather than android.util.Xml. The latter
returns null off-device, which is why FeeDreader's 297-line parser has no
tests at all. Both resolve to the same KXmlParser on Android.
- SimpleDateFormat with isLenient=false rejects "Tue, 02 Sep 2026 06:00:00
GMT" -- an entirely ordinary RFC 822 date. Left strict, every pubDate in
the app would have been null and episode ordering would have been silently
wrong everywhere.
minSdk is 29, deliberately not FeeDreader's 36, which would restrict the app
to Android 16 and newer.
Permissions: INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE for feeds; FOREGROUND_SERVICE,
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK, POST_NOTIFICATIONS and WAKE_LOCK because
Android requires a foreground service with a notification to play audio in the
background. That notification is the transport control, not an alert -- Listen
posts no new-episode notifications by design.
