Question

I was trying to get the XML output with some Unicode characters. I couldn’t read the complete string inside the tag but just one.

here is my XML output

 <item>
    <id>1</id>    
    <name>&#x0DBD;&#x0DDC;&#x0DBD;&#x0DCA;</name>
    <cost>155</cost>
    <description>&#x0DBD;&#x0DDC;</description>
</item> 

This is my java code which I use to parse XML string.

    public Document getDomElement(String xml) {
Document doc = null;
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {

    DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();

    InputSource is = new InputSource();
    is.setEncoding("UTF-16");
    is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xml));
    doc = db.parse(is);

} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
    Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
    return null;
} catch (SAXException e) {
    Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
    return null;
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
    return null;
}
// return DOM
return doc;
}

When I use normal English characters it gives the complete string.

This is the code I used to solve my problem.

   NodeList idlist = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_ID);
    NodeList namelist = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_NAME);
    NodeList costlist = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_COST);
    NodeList desclist = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_DESC);
    for (int i=0; i<idlist.getLength(); i++)
    {
        Item item = new Item();
        item.setCost(costlist.item(i).getTextContent());
        item.setDescription(desclist.item(i).getTextContent());
        item.setName(namelist.item(i).getTextContent());
        itemarray.add(item);

    }
