Question

I am trying the RSS Feed code from this website (http://javamix.wordpress.com/category/programs/rss-feed/) It worked fine. I would like to display results in GUI instead. I’ve created a JTextArea to append the elements but the results is ‘loaded’ instead of being listed out. Thanks.

Original:

System.out.println("Title: " + getElementValue(element,"title"));
System.out.println("Link: " + getElementValue(element,"link"));
System.out.println("Publish Date: " + getElementValue(element,"pubDate"));

I’ve created a JTextArea to display the result:

for (int i-0; i<nodes.getLength();i++)
{
     Element element = (Element)nodes.item(i);

     JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
     textArea.setBounds(10, 11, 864, 540);
     textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
     getContentPane().add(textArea);

     textArea.append("Title: " + getElementValue(element,"title") + "\n");
     textArea.append("Link: " + getElementValue(element,"link") + "\n");
     textArea.append("Publish Date: " + getElementValue(element,"pubDate") + "\n"); 
}

I’m a new user and not allowed to upload pictures, but there’s the link 🙂 I need a full list of results, displayed in the GUI.

My result (Title, Link, Publish Date remains static while the result was loaded) >>> Refer Screenshot My Result

Console (A full list of result) >>> Refer Screenshot Console

You are making a new TextArea every time in the Loop.
Move the declaration and instatiation of the TextArea to before the loop.

Like this:

JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setBounds(10, 11, 864, 540);
textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
getContentPane().add(textArea);
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength();i++)
{
     Element element = (Element)nodes.item(i);

     textArea.append("Title: " + getElementValue(element,"title") + "\n");
     textArea.append("Link: " + getElementValue(element,"link") + "\n");
     textArea.append("Publish Date: " + getElementValue(element,"pubDate") + "\n"); 
}
