I am trying to parse some text at run time. I am new to android any help would be appreciated.
I wanted to parse text and put that in a image view. I am doing this:
try {
/** Handling XML */
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
/** Send URL to parse XML Tags */
URL sourceUrl = new URL(
"http://www.androidpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/example.xml");
/** Create handler to handle XML Tags ( extends DefaultHandler ) */
MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
}
/** Get result from MyXMLHandler SitlesList Object */
sitesList = MyXMLHandler.sitesList;
/** Assign textview array lenght by arraylist size */
name = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
website = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
category = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
/** Set the result text in textview and add it to layout */
for (int i = 0; i < sitesList.getName().size(); i++) {
name[i] = new TextView(this);
name[i].setText("Name = "+sitesList.getName().get(i));
website[i] = new TextView(this);
website[i].setText("Website = "+sitesList.getWebsite().get(i));
category[i] = new TextView(this);
category[i].setText("Website Category = "+sitesList.getCategory().get(i));
layout.addView(name[i]);
layout.addView(website[i]);
layout.addView(category[i]);
}
I've been stuck for a while now trying to read XML data from a particular URL. I got a number of material regarding pulling XML Data with SAX and DOM but it doesnt work with my particular URL
Here is the code i tried. This one uses SAX and works perfectly with
TextView name[];
TextView website[];
TextView category[];
try {
/** Handling XML */
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
/** Send URL to parse XML Tags */
URL sourceUrl = new URL(
"http://www.androidpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/example.xml");
/** Create handler to handle XML Tags ( extends DefaultHandler ) */
MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
}
/** Get result from MyXMLHandler SitlesList Object */
sitesList = MyXMLHandler.sitesList;
/** Assign textview array lenght by arraylist size */
name = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
website = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
category = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
/** Set the result text in textview and add it to layout */
for (int i = 0; i < sitesList.getName().size(); i++) {
name[i] = new TextView(this);
name[i].setText("Name = "+sitesList.getName().get(i));
website[i] = new TextView(this);
website[i].setText("Website = "+sitesList.getWebsite().get(i));
category[i] = new TextView(this);
category[i].setText("Website Category = "+sitesList.getCategory().get(i));
layout.addView(name[i]);
layout.addView(website[i]);
layout.addView(category[i]);
}
also included in the code is the XMLHandler class that extends DefaultHandler
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
currentElement = true;
if (localName.equals("maintag"))
{
/** Start */
sitesList = new SitesList();
} else if (localName.equals("website")) {
/** Get attribute value */
String attr = attributes.getValue("category");
sitesList.setCategory(attr);
}
}
/** Called when tag closing ( ex:- <name>AndroidPeople</name>
* -- </name> )*/
#Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
throws SAXException {
currentElement = false;
/** set value */
if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("name"))
sitesList.setName(currentValue);
else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("website"))
sitesList.setWebsite(currentValue);
}
But when i change the url, it returns a XML Pasing Exception = java.net.UnknownHostException: giantstrides.crs.gov.ng and an Unable to start activity error (using Tomcat)
TextView title[];
TextView description[];
try {
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
URL sourceUrl = new URL(
"http://giantstrides.crs.gov.ng/index.php?option=com_ninjarsssyndicator&feed_id=22&format=raw");
/** Create handler to handle XML Tags ( extends DefaultHandler ) */
MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
}
/** Get result from MyXMLHandler SitlesList Object */
sitesList = MyXMLHandler.sitesList;
/** Assign textview array lenght by arraylist size */
title = new TextView[sitesList.getTitle().size()];
description = new TextView[sitesList.getTitle().size()];
//category = new TextView[sitesList.getName().size()];
/** Set the result text in textview and add it to layout */
//for (int i = 0; i < sitesList.getTitle().size(); i++) {
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
title[i] = new TextView(this);
title[i].setText("Title = "+sitesList.getTitle().get(i));
description[i] = new TextView(this);
description[i].setText("Description = "+sitesList.getDescription().get(i));
//category[i] = new TextView(this);
//category[i].setText("Website Category = "+sitesList.getCategory().get(i));
layout.addView(title[i]);
layout.addView(description[i]);
There is no problem with the URL because it loads the feeds on a browser but i cant get the information i require. Please, i need help, anybody, please..

`the next code should pars data from the baseurl(web service) to textView
Problem:
*it gives IOException .. I'm sure from the webservice but the program still gives error any one help to get the data from the webservice??*
public class NewParsActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
static final String baseUrl="http://www.androidpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/example.xml";

handlXml doingWork=new handlXml();
xr.setContentHandler(doingWork);
xr.parse(new InputSource(link.openStream()));
String information=doingWork.getInformation();
tv.setText(information);
}catch(Exception e){
tv.setText("Error");
}
//

Same example with API working fine for me.

XMLParsing Sample Project
Here's my output Window -
have a look at this tutorial there is a good guide about xml parsing in android.i hope this will solve ur query
here i am putting that tutrial content
say we need to parse this xml file
http://api.androidhive.info/pizza/?format=xml
and here is a class for parsing this xml
public class AndroidXMLParsingActivity extends ListActivity {
// All static variables
static final String URL = "http://api.androidhive.info/pizza/?format=xml";
// XML node keys
static final String KEY_ITEM = "item"; // parent node
static final String KEY_ID = "id";
static final String KEY_NAME = "name";
static final String KEY_COST = "cost";
static final String KEY_DESC = "description";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> menuItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
XMLParser parser = new XMLParser();
String xml = parser.getXmlFromUrl(URL); // getting XML
Document doc = parser.getDomElement(xml); // getting DOM element
NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_ITEM);
// looping through all item nodes <item>
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
Element e = (Element) nl.item(i);
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(KEY_ID, parser.getValue(e, KEY_ID));
map.put(KEY_NAME, parser.getValue(e, KEY_NAME));
map.put(KEY_COST, "Rs." + parser.getValue(e, KEY_COST));
map.put(KEY_DESC, parser.getValue(e, KEY_DESC));
// adding HashList to ArrayList
menuItems.add(map);
}
// Adding menuItems to ListView
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, menuItems,
R.layout.list_item,
new String[] { KEY_NAME, KEY_DESC, KEY_COST }, new int[] {
R.id.name, R.id.desciption, R.id.cost });
setListAdapter(adapter);
// selecting single ListView item
ListView lv = getListView();
// listening to single listitem click
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String name = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name)).getText().toString();
String cost = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.cost)).getText().toString();
String description = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.desciption)).getText().toString();
// Starting new intent
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SingleMenuItemActivity.class);
in.putExtra(KEY_NAME, name);
in.putExtra(KEY_COST, cost);
in.putExtra(KEY_DESC, description);
startActivity(in);
}
});
}
}

I have a link from that link:

i'm make example parsing xml from
http://www.androidpeople.com/android-xml-parsing-tutorial-using-saxparser/
in this example, layout using an array textview..
I tried to change the layout into a ListView, but is not working..
I get error in adapter.. can anyone help me?
change your XMLParsingExample.java class
public class XMLParsingExample extends Activity {
SitesList sitesList = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(1);
ListView listVw = new ListView(this);
ArrayList<String> listItm = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
URL sourceUrl = new URL(
"http://www.androidpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/example.xml");
MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
}
sitesList = MyXMLHandler.sitesList;
for (int i = 0; i < sitesList.getName().size(); i++) {
listItm.add("Name = " + sitesList.getName().get(i));
listItm.add("Website = " + sitesList.getWebsite().get(i));
listItm.add("Website Category = " + sitesList.getCategory().get(i));
}
listVw.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, listItm));
layout.addView(listVw);
setContentView(layout);
}
}
run this code and get all parsing value in listview.
