[Java][Android]Issues with making a RSS Dom Parser
« on: November 07, 2011, 08:50:00 pm »
Error Log: http://pastebin.com/YaP28L19
Code in question: http://pastebin.com/sDYgwB5B (line 56, called from line 43)
Full source code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/763272/android/Omnimaga.zip
I'm thinking it's the fact that (Node)list.item(i) is returning a null. No idea if that is the problem though. Anybody have a fix/better way to do this?
( I've tried using SAX to parse the xml, but it keeps on not working ( returning a blank feed ) ).

Actually, list.item(i) is not returning null, but list.item(i).getNodeValue() is. According to the table at the top of this page, the nodeValue of an instance of Element is always null. Anyway, I will try to see if I can get SAX to work.

Oh ok, I got confused there. I was wondering if Eeems was writing something for Cemetech that allows people to use SAX from a mobile device or something (like the TI-Planet app on iDevices). SAX is the acronym of their shoutbox, hence the confusion ;D

Cool, it works. I created an RSS parser that uses SAX, then I uncommented your code and made a few minor changes, and it works!
Anyway, I'll edit when I get it uploaded.

Thanks! Ill test it out when I get home from work.

EDIT: Alright just about to test now. You just had to change my source file setup didn't you ;P

EDIT2: Alright it works, although clicking on an item doesn't give more info, it crashes. Thanks a ton though!

Feel free to change the packages back. I rewrote the RSS Parser like 4 times, and each time I moved it to a new package instead of deleting the old code. :P
Also, the more info page works fine for me. What version of Android are you testing it on?

It appears, according to the error, that you need to declare that class as an activity in your AndroidManifest.xml file. Also, does the ShowDescription class extend Activity?

Oh lol, I just copied over the source files, didn't think about AndroidManifest.xml
ShowDescrition should extend it I think, check out the zip.

Alright, I got it to work now, I do have an issue though, but it has nothing to do with the code really.
The first time you try to access Omnimaga from anywhere it take a really long time to access, apparently longer then SAXParser's timeout is so it's impossible to connect to the Omnimaga RSS. I can't seem to figure out a way to extend the timeout of SAXParser so if anybody knows how that would be helpful. I've also contacted Netham45 about figuring out why this is happening.

( Yes I know this is a doublepost :P )

SAXParser in a very round-about way eventually uses a URLConnection, so you might as well create your own and set its timeout.
Code: [Select]
public RSS(String uri) {
try {
SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
URL url = new URL(uri);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setConnectTimeout(0);
conn.setReadTimeout(0);
parser.parse(conn.getInputStream(), new RSSHandler());
} catch (SAXException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParserConfigurationException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

Alright thanks, I'll try that when I get home tomorrow morning from work ( leaving now )
