i have gone through already asked questions , but none of them is the solution for my problem.
after running some programs, i guessed that we can not skip any tag in xml data processing once we start to process desired node..(in this code snippet same happened with me )
my codes are :
private List<Post> readFeed(XmlPullParser parser) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException{
parser.require(XmlPullParser.START_TAG, null, "rss");
String title = new String();
String link = new String();
List<Post> posts = new ArrayList<Post>();
Post post ;
while(parser.next() != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
// Log.d("tag name", parser.getName());
if((parser.getEventType() == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) && parser.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("item")){
Log.d("xml","reached to item");
while((parser.nextTag() != XmlPullParser.END_TAG) && !parser.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("item")){
// Log.d("tag name", parser.getName());
if(parser.getEventType() != XmlPullParser.START_TAG){
continue;
}
String name = parser.getName();
if(name.equalsIgnoreCase("title")){
title = readTitle(parser);
Log.d("title", title);
}else if(name.equalsIgnoreCase("link")){
link = readLink(parser);
Log.d("link", link);
}else if(name.equalsIgnoreCase("comments")){
Log.d("pubdate","parsed");
}else {
Log.d("xml", "beofre skip");
if(parser.getEventType()== XmlPullParser.START_TAG){
Log.d("xml", "true strt");
}
skip(parser);
}
Log.d("xml", "inside item tag..");
}
if(!title.isEmpty() && !link.isEmpty()){
Log.d("xml ", "addig to list");
posts.add(new Post(title, link));
Log.d("xml ", "addig to list");
title = new String();
Log.d("xml ", "addig to list");
link = new String();
}
}else{
Log.d("xml", " in else");
continue;
}
/*if (parser.getEventType() == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT) {
Log.d("start doc", parser.getName());
} else if (parser.getEventType() == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
Log.d("start tag", parser.getName());
} else if (parser.getEventType() == XmlPullParser.END_TAG) {
Log.d("end tag", parser.getName());
}*/
}
return posts;
}
private String readLink(XmlPullParser parser) throws XmlPullParserException,IOException{
parser.require(XmlPullParser.START_TAG, null , "link");
String link = parser.nextText(); //readText(parser);
parser.require(XmlPullParser.END_TAG, ns, "link");
Log.d("xml", "read linkkk");
return link;
}
private String readTitle(XmlPullParser parser) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException{
parser.require(XmlPullParser.START_TAG, null, "title");
String title = parser.nextText(); //readText(parser);
parser.require(XmlPullParser.END_TAG, null, "title");
Log.d("xml", "read titile");
return title;
}
//for text extraction
private String readText(XmlPullParser parser) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException{
String result ="";
if(parser.next() == XmlPullParser.TEXT){
result = parser.getText();
parser.nextTag();
}
return result;
}
private void skip(XmlPullParser parser) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
if (parser.getEventType() != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
Log.d("xml", "not starting tag");
throw new IllegalStateException();
}
int depth = 1;
while (depth != 0) {
switch (parser.next()) {
case XmlPullParser.END_TAG:
depth--;
break;
case XmlPullParser.START_TAG:
depth++;
break;
}
}
}
here is the stacktrace of this program:
