Android: not shows all text of XML from URL

I am creating the recovery of text using XML from a URL. I get the text. But I have a problem.
When the text of an item of the XML is large, in the TextView not shows all text of the XML.
What can be the error?

XML Parser returns last item, not the rest

my XML Content: (FileName: sku.xml)

// create a SAXXMLHandler
SAXXMLHANDLER saxHandler = new SAXXMLHANDLER();
// store handler in XMLReader
xmlReader.setContentHandler(saxHandler);
// the process starts
xmlReader.parse(new InputSource(is));
// get the News list`
setAdds = saxHandler.getIds();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.d("XML", "SAXXMLParser: parse() failed");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
// return News list
return setAdds;
}
}
My SAX XML HANDLER:
public class SAXXMLHANDLER extends DefaultHandler {
private List<XMLSetAdd> setAdds;
private String tempVal;
// to maintain context
private XMLSetAdd setAdd;
public SAXXMLHANDLER() {
setAdds = new ArrayList<XMLSetAdd>();

}
skusQuery = new Bundle();
skusQuery.putStringArrayList("ITEM_ID_LIST", skusList);
GetAllSkusAsync runner = new GetAllSkusAsync();//Some Async to run after
runner.execute();
}
catch (Exception ex)

}
}
The code which I use to call Async Class:
String URL = "http://someaddress/php/sku.xml";
GetXMLTask task = new GetXMLTask();
task.execute(new String[] { URL });
Now When I run this code and Log the result ,my list returns the last xml child which based on my xml file is "ll" and the rest of xml is not added to the file.
The list should return all of the ids but returns the last one.

Check following code. Edited SAX XML HANDLER.
public class SAXXMLHANDLER extends DefaultHandler {
private List<XMLSetAdd> setAdds;
private String tempVal;
// to maintain context
private XMLSetAdd setAdd;
public SAXXMLHANDLER() {
}
public List<XMLSetAdd> getIds() {
return setAdds;
}
// Event Handlers
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
// reset
tempVal = "";
if (qName.equals("skus")) {
setAdds = new List<XMLSetAdd>();
}else if(qName.equals("id")){
setAdd = new XMLSetAdd();
}
}
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
tempVal = new String(ch, start, length);
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
throws SAXException {
if (qName.equals("skus")) {
} else if (qName.equals("id")) {
setAdd.setId(tempVal);
setAdds.add(setAdd);
}
}
}

The reason is because you are only adding items to the list when endElement is skus. You should be adding one element for each id as follows:
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if (qName.equals("skus")) {
// setAdds.add(setAdd); // dont add here..
} else if (qName.equals("id")) {
setAdd.setId(tempVal); // if ending with id
setAdds.add(setAdd); // then add id to the list
}
}
Update
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
// reset
tempVal = "";
if (qName.equals("id")) {
setAdd = new XMLSetAdd(); // new item for each id
}
}

#Override
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
super.startElement(uri, localName, qName, attributes);
curentElement=localName;
if(qName.equals("skus")){
setAdd = new XMLSetAdd();
}
}
#Override
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
super.characters(ch, start, length);
String value = new String(ch, start, length);
if(curentElement.equals("id")){
tempVal=value;
}
#Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
throws SAXException {
super.endElement(uri, localName, qName);
curentElement = "";
if (localName.equals("id")) {
setAdd.setId(tempVal);
}else if(localName="skus"){
setAdds.add(setAdd);
}

Try this way
Update your parse
public class SAXXMLHANDLER extends DefaultHandler {
private List<XMLSetAdd> setAdds;
private String tempVal;
// to maintain context
private XMLSetAdd setAdd;
public SAXXMLHANDLER() {
setAdds = new ArrayList<XMLSetAdd>();
}
public List<XMLSetAdd> getIds() {
return setAdds;
}
// Event Handlers
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
// reset
if (qName.equals("id")) {
tempVal = "";
setAdd = new XMLSetAdd();
}
}
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
tempVal = new String(ch, start, length);
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if (qName.equals("id")) {
setAdd.setId(tempVal);
setAdds.add(setAdd);
}

How do parse xml in android using SAX Parser?

I'm a noob to android and I'm trying to learn how to parse xml with the SAX parser. I've written a test application to try to implement it, but i can't seem to make it work. I want my textview to display corresponding values from an xml but it's not working. Can anyone help?

First of all your method characters has to be much simpler. The only thing that it does is to read the characters between the tags. It will be like this:
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int end) {
buffer.append(new String(ch, start, end));
}
As you can see I'm using a StringBuffer as a private field. It's instantiate at the beginning of the startElement method and "resetted" at the beginning of the endElement.
value = buffer.toString();
buffer.setLength(0);
The field value will actually keep the real value of the field.
All my class for reference:
private String value;
private StringBuffer buffer;
#Override
public void startElement(
String nameSpaceURI,
String localName,
String qName,
Attributes atts
) {
buffer = new StringBuffer();
if(localName.equals("myTag"))
bean = new Bean();
}
public void endElement(
String uri,
String localName,
String qName) {
value = buffer.toString();
buffer.setLength(0);
if(localName.equals("myTag") {
bean.setSomething(value);
}
}
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int end) {
buffer.append(new String(ch, start, end));
}
Hope this helps. :)
EDIT
Here the code adapted to the op xml. I haven't tried it but SHOULD work. ;)
private String value;
private StringBuffer buffer;
private XMLCOllected info;
private boolean inPriceList;
private boolean inGold;
private boolean inSilver;

here my userMap only print valu upto description tag after it only shows null value. i need all data from description. Is there any way?

Parsing html-like document with xmlpullparser?

So I've got to parse ugly files that contain nested tags like
<p>blah<strong>lah</strong>blah</p>
The nested tags are defined and I don't care about them. But they make XmlPullParser fail:
XmlPullParser parser = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance().newPullParser();
parser.setInput(some_reader);
while (parser.next() != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
if (XmlPullParser.START_TAG == event) {
String tag = parser.getName();
if (tag != null) {
tag = tag.toLowerCase();
} else {
continue;
}
if ("p".equals(tag)) {
String text = parser.nextText();
// and here we go
// org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: expected: /p read: strong
}
}
}
Question: any chance I could get away w/o preprocessing the file stripping all the unnecessary tags or using a third-party library?
EDIT:
Updated the snippet to actually make sense.

So I've got rid of XMLPullParser and switched to SAXParser. Besides, it performs better.

package com.xml;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import android.util.Log;
public class FeedHandler extends DefaultHandler {
StringBuilder sb = null;
String ret = "";
boolean bStore = false;
int howMany = 0;
FeedHandler() { }
String getResults()
{
return "XML parsed data.\nThere are [" + howMany + "] status updates\n\n" + ret;
}
#Override
public void startDocument() throws SAXException
{
// initialize "list"
}
#Override
public void endDocument() throws SAXException
{
}
#Override
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException {
try {
if (localName.equals("status"))
{
this.sb = new StringBuilder("");
bStore = true;
}
if (localName.equals("user"))
{
bStore = false;
}
if (localName.equals("text"))
{
this.sb = new StringBuilder("");
}
if (localName.equals("created_at"))
{
this.sb = new StringBuilder("");
}
} catch (Exception e)
{
Log.d("error in startElement", e.getStackTrace().toString());
}
}
#Override
public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException
{
if (bStore)
{
if (localName.equals("created_at"))
{
ret += "Date: " + sb.toString() + "\n";
sb = new StringBuilder("");
return;
}
if (localName.equals("user"))
{
bStore = true;
}
if (localName.equals("text"))
{
ret += "Post: " + sb.toString() + "\n\n";
sb = new StringBuilder("");
return;
}
}
if (localName.equals("status"))
{
howMany++;
bStore = false;
}
}
#Override
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length)
{
if (bStore)
{
String theString = new String(ch, start, length);
this.sb.append(theString);
}
}
}
and this my xmlActivity class that extend Activity
InputSource is = new InputSource(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.my));
System.out.println("running xml file..... ");
// create the factory
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
// create a parser
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
// create the reader (scanner)
XMLReader xmlreader = parser.getXMLReader();
// instantiate our handler
FeedHandler fh = new FeedHandler();
// assign our handler
xmlreader.setContentHandler(fh);
// perform the synchronous parse
xmlreader.parse(is);
// should be done... let's display our results
tvData.setText(fh.getResults());
