GridScreen XML question

Hi,

I have been going through the documentation to understand the Roku programming. Got some progress but am still stuck in some basics.

On the GridScreen component (like netflix), I would like to retrieve the categories from a XML file on a webserver, then retrieve the items of each category also from XML on the webserver.

I would like this to happen every time the application starts, but if possible not reload if the user just switches between different items on the grid back and forth.

Could anyone share a bit of Roku code that would load the grid info directly from XML?

Thanks in advance!

Ron
