I am unable to populate the ListView with any Results. Can someone please help me figure out what i am missing that could fix this problem?? Thanks for any help!

If i could just get help with Title then i should be able to figure the rest out.

Try making these changes in the following function of RssHandler class:

public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
if (localName.equals("Result")) {
currentMessage= new Message();
messages.add(0,currentMessage);
}
}


public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
String chars = new String(ch, start, length).trim();

if (chars.length() > 0) {
if (localName.equals("Title")) {
currentMessage.setTitle(chars.toString());
}else if (localName.equals("Distance")) {
currentMessage.setDistance(chars.toString());
}
}
}

Hope it helps.

You have posted the code for RssHandler. Try replacing ur startElement() and characters() wid my sample code.

xml help

Postby mmgill » Sun Apr 04, 2010 6:39 pm

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the help. It works great. I see how you just add the next result to a textview with a break between them. Is there a way to make the textview items clickable? Or is there a way to add the items to a listview by modifying the code?
Or i guess another option would be to store each result as an object so that they could be put in a listview? Which one would work best>? Any help would be great.

Thanks again for the help.

We can make a text view clickable...by adding a OnClickListener on the textView.

xml

Postby mmgill » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:08 pm

alright. so would i have to make a clicklistener for each item when they are added to a list. because when i click on one i want its location to be shown on a mapview. would i have to store the latitude and longitude when i parsed the xml? would it have been easier to parse the data and save it as an object(with title, lat, long, address, etc) and reference it from there to plot on the mapview?>

Thanks for all the help guys!

found something

Postby mmgill » Mon Apr 05, 2010 10:28 pm

so if i wanted to use an example like the one below would i be able to modify it so that it stores info about an object (title, address, latitude, longitude) that would then be able to add to an arraylist and then added to a listview. In this example they parse an rss feed and display the title in a listview. could someone maybe look over this and see if it would be easier to change this (or if its possible for my xml file) or just use the code that was provided above?

thanks guys. im slowly getting better at this. bare with me

Parsing xml

Postby Richard.Williams » Wed Apr 07, 2010 4:25 pm

This would have been smaller code with biterscripting.



Code: Select all
var str xml, title, distance
cat "/path/to/xml file.xml" >  $xml
while ( { sen "^<Title>^" $xml } > 0 )
do
    stex -r -c "^<Title&\>&</Title&\>^" $xml > $title
    stex "^>^]" $title > null ; stex "[^<^" $title > null
    stex -r -c "^<Distance&\>&</Distance&\>^" $xml > $distance
    stex "^>^]" $distance > null ; stex "[^<^" $distance > null
    echo $title "\t" $distance
done





We use java and biterscripting for parsing xml files. Not sure if it will work on Android platform.
