weird xml problem

Postby relsieg » Mon Nov 30, 2009 7:23 pm

Hello folks,

I have a weird problem when it comes to reading the values between the tags.
My XML:
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using xml Syntax Highlighting
  1.  
  2. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  3.  
  4. <rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">
  5.  
  6.         <channel>
  7.  
  8.                 <item>
  9.  
  10.                         <title>Title 1</title>
  11.  
  12.                         <link>aaaaaaaaaaaaa</link>
  13.  
  14.                 </item>
  15.  
  16.                 <item>
  17.  
  18.                         <title>Title 2</title>
  19.  
  20.                         <link>bbbbbbbbbbbbbb</link>
  21.  
  22.                 </item>
  23.  
  24.                 <item>
  25.  
  26.                         <title>Title 3</title>
  27.  
  28.                         <link>cccccccccccccc</link>
  29.  
  30.                 </item>
  31.  
  32.         </channel>
  33.  
  34. </rss>
Parsed in 0.013 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


I put the value of the title-tags in a stringlist:
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1.      public void setExtractedString(String extractedString) {
  2.  
  3.          //  the value should not be empty and not in the list
  4.  
  5.          if( !extractedString.matches("") && !this.allStrings.contains(extractedString) ) {
  6.  
  7.                  this.allStrings.add(extractedString);   
  8.  
  9.          }
  10.  
  11.      }
Parsed in 0.135 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


But at the end, I get the following result:
[Title 1, Title 2aaaaaaaaa, Title 3bbbbbbbbbbb]]
This is quite weird because (as seen below) I never touch the link-Tag.
I even logged the status of "this.node_link" in the character method and the start/endElement method to confirm that it is not "true" by mistake

As the "main code" is from this tutorial, I'll only post the handler:

I even logged the values at the time they were extracted but the result ist the same, as stated above.

Any ideas :(?

Thanks alot,

Can someone explain to me how i can do what plusminus said here. I think this is the solution to my problem

plusminus wrote:Hello Anthony,

I would do it that way:
Additionally create a (Array)List of ResultSets. And every time the parser reaches this tag :darrow: , add a new ParsedExampleDataSet to the List:

And I believe i need an array of ParsedExampleDataSets but don't know where/when to create a new one properly.

I'm using the android SAX Parser, but I'm having trouble parsing this one. Here's the XML.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using xml Syntax Highlighting
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  2. <CrossRate xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.xignite.com/services/">

  12.                 <Symbol>USD</Symbol>
  13.         </To>
  14.         <Rate>0</Rate>
  15.         <Bid>0</Bid>
  16.         <Ask>0</Ask>
  17. </CrossRate>
Parsed in 0.016 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


When I parse this, it gives me the following error:
adnroid.sax.BadXmlException: Root element name does not match. Expected 'CrossRate', Got: 'http://www.xignite.com/services/:CrossRate'.


But even when I changed it to what was said, it'll still give me the same error (except the part of CrossRate). So I tried this without anything in crossrate. So the head would be <CrossRate>. That works. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

This is my parsing code:
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1. @Override
  2.         public CurrencyRate parseRate() {
  3.                 Log.i("_________________________________", "parsing messages");
  4.                 final CurrencyRate currentCurrency = new CurrencyRate();
  5.                 RootElement root = new RootElement(CROSSRATE);
  6.  
  7.                 root.getChild(OUTCOME).setEndTextElementListener(new EndTextElementListener(){
  8.                         public void end(String body) {
  9.                                 currentCurrency.setOutcome(body);
  10.                         }
  11.                 });
  12.                
  13.                 root.getChild(MESSAGE).setEndTextElementListener(new EndTextElementListener(){
  14.                         public void end(String body) {
  15.                                 currentCurrency.setMessage(body);
  16.                         }
  17.                 });
  18.  
  19.                 root.getChild(RATE).setEndTextElementListener(new EndTextElementListener(){
  20.                         public void end(String body) {
  21.                                 double rate = Double.parseDouble(body);
  22.                                 currentCurrency.setRate(rate);
  23.                                
  24.                         }
  25.                 });
  26.                
  27.  
  28.                 try {
  29.                         Xml.parse(this.getInputStream(), Xml.Encoding.UTF_8, root.getContentHandler());
  30.                 } catch (Exception e) {
  31.                         throw new RuntimeException(e);
  32.                 }
  33.                 Log.i("_________________________________", "DONE parsing messages");
  34.                 return currentCurrency;
  35.         }
  36.

Problem solved. It seemed when they have the xmlns="url", you have to put it in for parsing.

So the code would look like this:
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1.                 final String url = "http://www.xignite.com/services/";
  2.                 RootElement root = new RootElement(url, CROSSRATE);
  3.                 root.getChild(url, OUTCOME).setEndTextElementListener(new EndTextElementListener(){
  4.                         public void end(String body) {
  5.                                 currentCurrency.setOutcome(body);
  6.                         }
  7.                 });

I'm downloading the xml file from a website, so I can't control how they generate it.

SAX Parser Problem

Postby student_ct » Tue Dec 15, 2009 11:39 am

I have a problem and i don't know if it's because the xml file has similar tags.
I want to get the datas from the site:
http://www.cbssports.com/partners/feeds/isg/scores
but only the NHL datas.
Here's my Code:

I get an error when I try to run the code that has been written from this tutorial.

The exact error is:
Error: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)


How do I fix this?!

1. read the error message.. it says loud and clear what to do
2. use th damn search function

If you cant fix your "problem" after those 2 steps...

1. throw away your phone
2. search a different hobby.. coding isnt the right one for you

lol Padde looks pissed off, It seems that you did not even bother reading the tutorials or searching on the web for your error.
anyway coming to your error it is because your application does not have permission to connect to the internet by default. You have to allow it to do so.
we do it by allowing it to connect to the internet in this way

you should add this in your manifest file. I too had this problem too a month back when I started developing on android but the documentation and searching on web solved my problem.

XML Parser

Postby matrix » Tue Dec 22, 2009 5:37 am

I think this is a great write up thank you. I for some reason in the example I only get the integer returned. I do not know why I am having so much trouble with this. I also tried putting 2 entries and only the last one showed up. Is there a loop for this I am missing. I am used to web development and am wanting to make basically an RSS reader - I want to get a list and one of the xml filed contains the url to the master data record where I could pull the xml file for that. Make any since and/or is there a beetter more appropriate way - Like querying a mssql or mysql db directly.

How To Handle this structure

Postby nmorrisii » Tue Dec 29, 2009 3:58 pm

I am on day 4 of examining the API, however, I am still struggling how to parse this xml example. I followed the example in this thread, but my xml structure has the following...
<RESULTS>
<ROW>
<COLUMN columnnumber="1" name="ID">
<text>054686CFABEDFE0E8525768D006B2AA4</text>
</COLUMN>
<COLUMN columnnumber="6" name="CATEGORY">
<text>Day 1 - Sunday</text>
</COLUMN>
</ROW>
</RESULTS>

I am trying to get the value of the child node "text"

I'll keep reading, but if someone can provide a clue, it will help.
