The structure of this data.xml is completely identical with that of the iOS App.

<feed><![CDATA[*]]></feed> with the URL to the News-RSS-Feed

<timetables_names><![CDATA[*;**;***;…]]></timetables_names> with the names of the Timetables, separated with a semicolon

<timetables_classes><![CDATA[*;**;***;…]]></timetables_classes> with the classes from 5-12 where the timetable belong to (same order)

<timetables_urls><![CDATA[*;**;***;…]]></timetables_urls> with the URLs to the Timetable-PDFs (same order)

<phone_number><![CDATA[*]]></phone_number>, <website><![CDATA[*]]></website>, <email_address><![CDATA[*]]></email_address>, <address><![CDATA[*]]></address> with the Phone-Number, the URL to the website, the Mail-Address and the Adress of the School

Schools in other communities and/or states?

If you have schools in other communities and/or states, you have to write the name(s) of them in the <state name=""> and <community name=""> tags. Also, you have to comment one and to uncomment two blocks of code in the SchoolsActivity.java file.
