How to parse xml for HTTPS url using SAXParser in Android

xmlHandlerObject = new XMLHandler();
xmlReaderObject.setContentHandler(xmlHandlerObject);
xmlReaderObject.parse(new InputSource(urlConnectionObject.getInputStream()));

Don't do network operations on UI Thread (main).
You can use AsyncTask which enables proper and easy use of the UI thread. it allows to perform background operations and publish results on the UI thread without having to manipulate threads and/or handlers (It uses an inner thread pool). See more at: AsyncTask API

TCP socket connection, receiving and displaying data in list view.

I am doing a project of TCP socket connection.
receiving json data from server and display it into a list view.
server sends data continually for every 1 sec.
I am getting an error of index out of bound exception Invalid index 4 size is 4.
My code is as follow.
I think problem is with User u = list.get(position); and runonUIthread.

toast mesage not shown on screen when network or server not available

I need to show toast message when the server is not responding
when I press the login button, some parameters are passed to AgAppMenu screen which use url connection to server and get xml response in AgAppHelperMethods screen. The
probelm is when the server is busy or the network is not avaibale, I can't show toast message on catch block although it shows the log message.

AgAppHelperMethods isn't really an Activity. You've derived this class from Activity, but then you've created Singleton management methods (getInstance()) and you are instantiating it yourself. This is bad. Don't do this.
Normally Android controls the instantiation of activities. You don't ever create one yourself (with new).
It looks to me like AgAppHelperMethods just needs to be a regular Java class. It doesn't need to inherit from anything. Remove also the lifecycle methods like onCreate().
Now you will have a problem with the toast, because you need a context for that and AgAppHelperMethods isn't a Context. To solve that you can add Context as a parameter to AgAppXMLParser() like this:
public String[][] AgAppXMLParser(Context context, String parUrl) {
...
// Now you can use "context" to create your toast.
}
When you call AgAppXMLParser() from AgAppMenu just pass "this" as the context parameter.

Android SAX Parser Error

I'm trying to make an SAX Parser for Android and started off by reading only one tag from the external XML file. I get an 'Unfortunately, -- has stopped' error. I looked at the Log file and it gives my a null reference error. My guess is the XMLAdapter class isn't working fine and I haven't been able to figure the problem out.
Here's my Main activity:
package com.vint.michiganbus;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

TextView title[];
Log.i(TAG, "data is hello");
try {
/**

SAXParserFactory saxPF = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxP = saxPF.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xmlR = saxP.getXMLReader();
URL url = new URL("http://mbus.pts.umich.edu/shared/public_feed.xml"); // URL of the XML
/**
* Create the Handler to handle each of the XML tags.
**/
XMLHandler myXMLHandler = new XMLHandler();
xmlR.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
xmlR.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
data = XMLHandler.data;
/**
* Makes the TextView length the size of the TextView arrays by getting the size of the

title = new TextView[data.get().size()];
/**

**/
for (int i = 0; i < data.get().size(); i++) {
title[i] = new TextView(this);
title[i].setText("Title = "+data.get().get(i));
((ViewGroup) layout).addView(title[i]);
}
setContentView(layout);
//setContentView(R.layout.listview);
}
}
Here's my XML Handler:
package com.vint.michiganbus;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import android.util.Log;
public class XMLHandler extends DefaultHandler {
private static final String TAG = "In Handler";
String elementValue = null;
Boolean elementOn = false;
public static XMLGettersSetters data = null;
public static XMLGettersSetters getXMLData() {
return data;
}
public static void setXMLData(XMLGettersSetters data) {
XMLHandler.data = data;
}
/**

**/
#Override
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,

Log.i(TAG, "starting Element "+localName);
if (localName.equals("livefeed"))

data = new XMLGettersSetters();
} else if (localName.equals("routecount")) {

}
}
/**

**/
#Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
throws SAXException {
elementOn = false;
/**

if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("routecount"))
data.set(elementValue);
/*else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCae("artist"))
data.setArtist(elementValue);
else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("country"))
data.setCountry(elementValue);

data.setYear(elementValue);*/
}
/**

**/
#Override
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
if (elementOn) {
elementValue = new String(ch, start, length);
elementOn = false;
}
}
}
And this is my GetterSetter class
package com.vint.michiganbus;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class XMLGettersSetters {
private ArrayList<String> routecount = new ArrayList<String>();
public ArrayList<String> get() {
return routecount;
}
public void set(String company) {
this.routecount.add(company);
}
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
ps: If anyone has suggestions how to handle the XML in the URL efficiently I'd love that!

The error might be that you're trying to retrieve a web file from the activity thread. I would create an AsyncTask, put all my parser code in the doInBackground() method from AsyncTask.
Something that would look like this :
private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<Document, Integer, Document>
{
Document doc;
String xml;
public DownloadFilesTask(){}
protected Document doInBackground(Document... params)
{
xml = xmlFunctions.getXML("Your URL");
doc = XmlFunctions.XMLfromString(xml);
return doc;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Document result)
{
//Some code changing UI from the nodes you've just parsed
}
}
then you can call this class in your onCreate using :
new DownloadTaskfiles().execute();
Hope this is of some help!
