Get yweather:forecast from Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed

Last exercise show how to "Get weather info from Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed in background thread". In the exercise, all the retrieved information have only one element, so I use item(0) to get the items. In this exercise, I will get <yweather:forecast> also.

Get yweather:forecast from Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed


For <yweather:forecast>, it have more than one item. So I get it as a NodeList, then travel along to retrieve all items.
