[Solved]XML DOM parsing issue

Hello,

I'm trying to parse an xml on a remote server and it seems that it's not possible to do this in the xmpp way :

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
this.getResources().getXml(id)
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

because I don't know which id to use.

So I tried in the DOM way. My remote XML document looks like this (quite simple for now):

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

 
<root>
 
  <title>My title</title>
 
</root>
 
Parsed in 0.001 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

and here is the code to parse it :

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
DocumentBuilder db = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
 
Document doc = db.parse(new URL(filePath).openStream());
 
doc.normalize();
 
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
 
NodeList nodes = root.getChildNodes();
 
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
 
  if (nodes.item(i).getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("title")){
 
    Log.i(ParserBase.class.toString(),"title : " + nodes.item(i).getNodeValue());
 
  }
 
}
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

When I loot at the logs my title is null. It means that it found the <title> tag but i can't manage to get the value...

Does somebody see the problem?

Thx

yes, i had the same problem so i gave up on dom, but use SAX parser instead...

Thx for replying.

@plusminus : I saw this thread and that's the one I started from.

@lordhong : I tried to use SAX but the only way I know is to extend the ContentHandler class but it seems it's missing in Android API. How did you make it work?

OK I think I found here : http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?t=318

I'll extend the DefaultHandler class.

THx for all
