## AI overview

The author announces an update to the Android RSS-Parser library that improves featured-image parsing. The parser now checks a specific image element, then the article description, and finally the article content as fallback sources.

## Source excerpt

Today I've released a new version of the Android library RSS-Parser This library allows you to easily download an (or multiple) RSS Feed in order to display it in your application. If you don't know RSS-Parser, you can give a look to the blog post dedicated to it. In that post I'll give also some tip about the library usage. Thanks to the issues and the suggestions provided by the community, I've improved the parsing of the feature image of the article. Now the parser, first search a specific image content, next if nothing is found it search inside the description and next inside the content of ther article. In this way there are three different sources for the image, in order to minimize the absense.
