Question

If I parse the tag that contains <p>Some Text</p> tag, I get a null pointer exception.

My RSS feed is as follows:

<quaddeals_conditions><p>Limit one QuadDeal</p></quaddeals_conditions>

My code is:

if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("quaddeals_conditions")) {
    property.normalize();
    conditions = property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();   
}

Answer 1

You have an element

inside an element .

Therefore retrieve all quaddeals and then iterate each one and retrieve from it the p element:

DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document dom = builder.parse(this.inputStream);
Element root = dom.getDocumentElement();

// snip

NodeList items = root.getElementsByTagName("quaddeals_conditions");
for (int i = 0; i < items.getLength(); i++) {
            Node item = items.item(i);
            NodeList properties = item.getChildNodes();
            for (int j = 0; j < properties.getLength(); j++) {
                Node property = properties.item(j);
                String name = property.getNodeName();
                if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("p")) {
                    property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue(); // Your paragraph data
                }
            }
}

Hope this helps.
