Dear Friends,
I am facing parsing problem using Tag "lgCommon:entityDescription". I want to parse information using tag and store it some where .
Could you please suggest me how can I solve the problem.

import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

public class CabiParser {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException {
DocumentBuilderFactory dbfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbfactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder domparser = dbfactory.newDocumentBuilder();

//parse the XML and create the DOM
Document doc = domparser.parse(new File("C:/matchdata/agrotest.xml"));

NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName("lgCommon:entityDescription");
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
Node n = nl.item(i);
String str = n.getTextContent();
System.out.println("String of concept" +str);
//NodeList nl= doc.getChildNodes();
// printElementAttributes(doc);
// printElements(doc);


}
}[syntax="xml"]

my file structure are following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Hi,

Are u able to successfully extract the data from xml?If yes can u plz attach ur project(entire source code) and send it to me plz i really need it urgently as i als have to do xml parsing.

Thanks and Regards,
pushpa

will this work for a remote xml file, like this



This looks way faster than the sax parser. Why is the sax parser so long and cumbersome???

or u can try this


static String feedUrl = "http://www.androidster.com/android_news.rss";


public static FeedParser getParser(){
return getParser(ParserType.ANDROID_SAX);
}

public static FeedParser getParser(ParserType type){
switch (type){
case SAX:
return new SaxFeedParser(feedUrl);
case DOM:
return new DomFeedParser(feedUrl);
case ANDROID_SAX:
return new AndroidSaxFeedParser(feedUrl);
case XML_PULL:
return new XmlPullFeedParser(feedUrl);
default: return null;
}
}
}

Using SAX is somewhat slow and outdated ... Have you look at pull parsing, or VTD-XML (http://vtd-xml.sf.net)?

hey thankx for quick reply..


i never worked before on SAX ,pull parsing, or VTD-XML..

if u can proivide me a demo ,how to call xml in android, particularly showing it in activity or through through main.xml .


Thankx again
