I’m writing an android application, and I would like to get an xml string

  • 0

I’m writing an android application, and I would like to get an xml string from web and get all info it contains.
First of all, i get the string (this code works):


URL url = new URL("here my adrress");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
String myData = reader.readLine();
reader.close();

Then, I use DOM:


DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource is = new InputSource();
is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(myData));

Still no problem. When I write


Document doc = db.parse(is);

the application doesn’t do anything more. It stops, without errors.
Can someone please tell me what’s going on?

    I wouldn’t know why your code doesn’t work since there is no error but I can offer alternatives.

    First, I am pretty sure your new InputStream “is” is unnecessary. “parse()” can take “url.openStream()” or “myData” directly as an argument.

    Another cause of error could be that your xml data has more than one line(I know you said that the first part of your code worked but I’d rather mention it, just to be sure). If so, “reader.readLine()” will only get you a part of your xml data.

    I hope this will help.
