Question

I am trying to values of specific Nodes from an xml file, this is working fine.

However, there is one line i can’t read which is :

<misc viewers="898" duration="6684"/>

I can find the node, but getNodeValue() and getTextContext() both return null.

Is there a workaround to get the contents of this line?

Thanks

edit : i am using this loop to find nodes

NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");

        for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {

            Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
            System.out.println("Title: "
                    + getElementValue(element, "title"));
            System.out
                    .println("embed: " + getElementValue(element, "misc"));

            System.out.println();
        }

viewers and duration are attributes of the misc node, not values. You need to call getAttributes() to get a NamedNodeMap of all the attributes, then call getNamedItem() on your node map to access a specific attribute.
