Developer Guide: Creating a Feed Module

Learn how to build and publish a custom Feed Module that displays dynamic cards inside RPDev Feed.

---

1. Project Structure

A feed module can be built as a standalone Android application or library:

my-feed-module/
├── AndroidManifest.xml
├── build.gradle.kts
└── src/main/java/com/example/mymodule/
    ├── MyCardProvider.kt
    └── MyModuleService.kt

---

2. Declare Module Intent in Manifest

In your AndroidManifest.xml, declare your service with the iamrp.dev.feed.MODULE action:

<service
    android:name=".MyModuleService"
    android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="iamrp.dev.feed.MODULE" />
    </intent-filter>
    <meta-data
        android:name="iamrp.dev.feed.MODULE_METADATA"
        android:resource="@xml/module_manifest" />
</service>

---

3. Define the Module Manifest (res/xml/module_manifest.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<module
    id="plugin_sample"
    name="Sample Stock Ticker"
    version="1.0.0"
    author="YourName"
    category="Finance"
    summary="Live stock and crypto tickers on your feed" />

4. Submitting to Repository

Once built and tested on emulator or device, submit your module PR to the RPDev Feed Modules Repository for inclusion in the master catalog.
