MainActivity.java

        textview =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    }

    public void doParsing(View v)
    {

        if (isNetworkAvailable()) 
        {
            textview.setText("Loading...Please wait...");
            new AsyncData().execute(rssFeed);
        }

BeanClass which storing Data

public class Bean {

    private String id;
    private String title;
    private String desc;

    private String link;

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getDesc() {
        return desc;
    }

    public void setDesc(String desc) {
        this.desc = desc;
    }

    public String getPubDate() {
        return pubDate;
    }

    public void setPubDate(String pubDate) {
        this.pubDate = pubDate;
    }

    public String getLink() {
        return link;
    }

    public void setLink(String link) {
        this.link = link;
    }

}

You will need a list view

In your main.xml have ListView. Customize the way you want.

      <ListView
      android:id="@+id/listView1"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
      >
     </ListView>

Declare ListView as class member

ListView lv;

Then in MainActivity onCreate initialize ListView

 lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);

In onPostExecute

  ArrayList<Bean> itemsList = myXMLHandler.getItemsList();
  lv.setAdapter(new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this,itemsList));

Have a row.xml. Customize according to your requirements.

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginTop="17dp"
            />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView2"
            android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"
            android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
             />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
             />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView4"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
            />

    </RelativeLayout>

Then your CustomAdapter

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter
{
    Context mContext;
    ArrayList<Bean> beandata;
    LayoutInflater mInflater;
    public CustomAdapter(Context context,ArrayList<Bean> itemList) 
    {
        mContext = context;
        beandata = itemList;
        mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    }
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return beandata.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        ViewHolder vh;
        if(convertView == null)
        {
            vh= new ViewHolder();
             convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.row, 
                     parent, false);
            vh.tv1 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
            vh.tv2 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
            vh.tv3 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView3);
            vh.tv4 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView4);
            convertView.setTag(vh); 
        } else { 
            vh = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag(); 
        }
            Bean objBean = beandata.get(position);
            vh.tv1.setText(objBean.getTitle());
            vh.tv2.setText(objBean.getDesc());
            vh.tv3.setText(objBean.getPubDate());
            vh.tv4.setText(objBean.getLink());

        return convertView;
    }
    static class ViewHolder
    {
        TextView tv1,tv2,tv3,tv4;
    }
}

You should use a listview with custom adapter. for each row in listview inflate a custom layout. Listview recycles views.

For smooth scrolling and performance use a view holder

http://developer.android.com/training/improving-layouts/smooth-scrolling.html

It is better to use xmlpullparser as recommended by google

http://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/xml.html

Snap shot. You need to customize ui according to your requirement.
