How to read whole chapter from epub files? - android

I want to make epub reader app.Now i am getting only chapter name in the file but how to get whole data in the chapter.

I think I have already posted this out before.
Using nl.siegmann.epublib which you can google.
In my code I will show you how I did it as you look at Book class which shows how the the epub works.
Using Spine on book class I get the maximum spine of the book which means the entire book.
I then convert it to string.
Here is my code on how I did it.
public String getEntireBook()
{
String line, linez = null;
Spine spine = amBook().getSpine();
Resource res;
List<SpineReference> spineList = spine.getSpineReferences() ;
int count = spineList.size();
int start = 0;
StringBuilder string = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = start; count > i; i = i +1) {
res = spine.getResource(i);
try {
InputStream is = res.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
linez = string.append(line + "\n").toString();
}
} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return linez;
}

Android: display sentence from text file stored in res/raw folder

I am new to android and i Struck at this point.My text file contains wordings with number like
1abcd efg hij klmn opqrs.
2hdgh eydg ieuyhd gdhdgl.
3hdgf dhgfhs fhghs dhghj. and so on.
Now i need to display full sentence start with 1. please help me out from this problem.
You can save your text file in "Assets" folder of project and use following code to retrieve that file in java class
try {
reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(getAssets().open("YOUR_TEXT_FILE.txt")));
StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
total.append(line);
}
message=total.toString();
System.out.println(message);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
After that you have that file in String message and you can retrieve string starting from "1" from that.
EDIT
TO RETRIEVE STRING STARTING WITH 1
use can use following code-
String newString;
for (int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++){
char c = message.charAt(i);
if(c=='1'){
for (int j = i; j < message.length(); j++){
if(c=='2'){
break;
}
else{
newString += message.charAt(j);
}
}
break;
}
}
Now String newString will contain String starting with '1'.
Good Luck

Parsing XML error, arrayindexoutofbounds exception.

I'm trying to parse some XML to a string and I'm getting an outofbounds exception. I'm fairly new to android as well as trying to get text from a website, namely the CTA Bus Tracker API . One block of the XML looks like this:
<route>
<rt>1</rt>
<rtnm>Bronzeville/Union Station</rtnm>
</route>
This is my method:
class loadRoutes extends AsyncTask<String, String, String[]> {
#Override
protected String[] doInBackground(String... strings) {
try {
URL routesURL = new URL(strings[0]);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(routesURL.openStream()));
String [] result = new String[2];
String line;
while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
if(line.contains("<rt>")) {
int firstPos = line.indexOf("<rt>");
String tempNum = line.substring(firstPos);
tempNum = tempNum.replace("<rt>", "");
int lastPos = tempNum.indexOf("</rt>");
result[0] = tempNum.substring(0, lastPos);
in.readLine();
firstPos = line.indexOf("<rtnm>");
String tempName = line.substring(firstPos);
tempName = tempName.replace("<rtnm>", "");
lastPos = tempName.indexOf("</rtnm>");
result[1] = tempName.substring(0, lastPos);
}
}
in.close();
return result;
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
The first readline() gets to the line with an rt and grabs that line, then in the if statement, readline() should get the next line, which should contain rtnm. I keep getting indexoutofbounds on the line firstPos = line.indexOf("rtnm").
The while loop is already reading in the next line, so you don't need to in.readLine(); in the if statement. Try running it like this:
while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
if(line.contains("<rt>")) {
int firstPos = line.indexOf("<rt>");
String tempNum = line.substring(firstPos);
tempNum = tempNum.replace("<rt>", "");
int lastPos = tempNum.indexOf("</rt>");
result[0] = tempNum.substring(0, lastPos);
} else if (line.contains("<rtnm>") {
firstPos = line.indexOf("<rtnm>");
String tempName = line.substring(firstPos);
tempName = tempName.replace("<rtnm>", "");
lastPos = tempName.indexOf("</rtnm>");
result[1] = tempName.substring(0, lastPos);
}
}
Also, it might be easier to write your own XML parser in a different class. This XML parser android documentation has an example of exactly what you are trying to do.

How do the retrieve the date of the mms from content://mms.

I did get the information on how to retrieve the text and the image for the mms sent from this link: How to Read MMS Data in Android?.
But I am not sure how to retrieve the date for the mms that was sent.
I know I have to look into content://mms and not in content://mms/part.
This is the Mothod to retrieve the mms text:
private String getMmsText(String id) {
Uri partURI = Uri.parse("content://mms/part/" + id);
InputStream is = null;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(partURI);
if (is != null) {
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
String temp = reader.readLine();
while (temp != null) {
sb.append(temp);
temp = reader.readLine();
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
if (is != null) {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
and then, in the onCreate method, I use this code to get the info:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, selectionPart,
null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String partId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id"));
String type = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("ct"));
if ("text/plain".equals(type)) {
String data = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex("_data"));
if (data != null) {
// implementation of this method above
body = getMmsText(partId);
} else {
body = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("text"));
}
}
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
try {
main.setText(body);
img.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I just want to know where can I make changes to get the date value.
Some info will be really helpful.
I'm not overly familiar with MMS's, but I'd imagine something like this would at least get you started
Cursor cursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://mms"),null,null,null,date DESC);
count = cursor.getCount();
if (count > 0)
{
cursor.moveToFirst();
long timestamp = cursor.getLong(2);
Date date = new Date(timestamp);
String subject = cursor.getString(3);
}
It's completely untested of course, but should point you in the right direction. Hope this helps!
Edit
After doing a bit of reading, there used to be (possibly still is) a "bug" with the timestamp in MMS messages, when retrieving the data. If you end up with a silly value (like the epoch), you'll have to * 1000 before using it. Just an aside :) I.e.:
long timestamp = (cursor.getLong(2) * 1000);

How to read EPUB book using EPUBLIB?

I found a solution for reading epub books in android using epublib. I am able to read the subtitles of the book. But I didn't find a way to read the line by line of the content. How can I acheive this?
Sample code for getting titles of the book is
private void logTableOfContents(List<TOCReference> tocReferences, int depth) {
if (tocReferences == null) {
return;
}
for (TOCReference tocReference : tocReferences) {
StringBuilder tocString = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder tocHref=new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < depth; i++) {
tocString.append("\t");
tocHref.append("\t");
}
tocString.append(tocReference.getTitle());
tocHref.append(tocReference.getCompleteHref());
Log.e("Sub Titles", tocString.toString());
Log.e("Complete href",tocHref.toString());
//logTableOfContents(tocReference.getChildren(), depth + 1);
}
}
Got this code from http://www.siegmann.nl/epublib/android
How can I get the story of the book...
I'm not sure is that is the way to navigate in epub file. As far as I know (till now - I'm still learning), better way to get all book cocntent is based on spine section.
But still - I don't know how to connect this two things (TOC and real spine) with epublib interface.
According to documentation:
"The spine sections are the sections of the book in the order in which the book should be read. This contrasts with the Table of Contents sections which is an index into the Book's sections."
that is something - if You likie - this is a snippet:
Spine spine = new Spine(book.getTableOfContents());
for (SpineReference bookSection : spine.getSpineReferences()) {
Resource res = bookSection.getResource();
try {
InputStream is = res.getInputStream();
//do something with stream
} catch (IOException e) {
Well - i'm not exacly sure about navigating, but also wonder how to do it
For now - i have something like this (it is line - by line read):
private void logTableOfContents(List<TOCReference> tocReferences, int depth) {
if (tocReferences == null) {
return;
}
for (TOCReference tocReference : tocReferences) {
StringBuilder tocString = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < depth; i++) {
tocString.append("\t");
}
try{
InputStream is = tocReference.getResource().getInputStream();
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line;
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
String line = Html.fromHtml(line).toString();
}
}
catch(IOException e){
}
//logTableOfContents(tocReference.getChildren(), depth + 1);
}
}

Fail to split downloaded txt file

I have a String that I try to split. The following code works
lsSagor = "some text\n Some more text\n More text~Text again\n Text\n text~Some text ..."
final String[] laList = lsSagor.split("~");
String[] laSaga = laList[0].split("\n");
Gives:
laSaga[0] => some text
laSaga[1] => some more text
laSaga[2] => More text
But if I download the textfile, it fails to split and gives:
laSaga[0] => "some text\n Some more text\n More text"
So it seems the first split works, but not the second.
Here is the code I use to download the file
String lsSagor = getFileFromUrl(BASEURL+"/sagor.txt");
public static String getFileFromUrl(String url)
{
InputStream content = null;
try
{
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Execute HTTP Get Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpGet);
content = response.getEntity().getContent();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//handle the exception !
}
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content), 4096);
String line;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
rd.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return sb.toString();
}
From the documentation
I don't think you will find your string contains any newline character to split on, you would need to do
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
sb.append("\n");
}
to get that and I'm sure there is an easier way to just read it newlines and all in the first place.
Hi I think the problem is in String.split() function
Old method but work :)
public static String[] splitString(String str, char separator)
{
String[] retVal = null;
int length = str.length();
int size = 1;
int jIndx = 0;
int expressionLength = 0;
while ((jIndx = str.indexOf(separator, jIndx + 1)) != -1)
{
size++;
}
retVal = new String[size];
jIndx = 0;
char[] charArray = str.toCharArray() ;
for (int index = 0; index < length; index++)
{
if (charArray[index] == separator)
{
retVal[jIndx] = str.substring(index - expressionLength, index);
jIndx++;
expressionLength = 0;
}
else
expressionLength++;
if (index + 1 == length)
{
retVal[jIndx] = str.substring(index + 1 - expressionLength, index + 1);
}
}
return retVal;
}
This is the (not so beautiful) solution
lsSagor = "some text# Some more text# More text~Text again\n Text# text~Some text ..."
String lsSagor = getFileFromUrl(BASEURL+"/sagor.txt");
final String[] laList = lsSagor.split("~");
giAntalSagor = laList.length;
String[] laSaga = laList[0].split("#");
final String[] guiLaList = new String[giAntalSagor];
for (int i = 0; i < giAntalSagor; i++)
{
guiLaList[i] = laList[i].replaceAll("#", "\n");
}
guiLaList is used for layout with "\n" and the other list laList to get the information I wanted.
