Question

in my app i am sending when i click a button it goes on to a url and it returns back an xml file. The xml file is as follows

<search>
     <data>
      <userid>1</userid>
          <name>Jean</name>
          <address>dbvsvksn</address>
          <dob>Mar 3</dob>
      <country>us</country>
     </data>
     <data>
      <userid>2</userid>
          <name>Anne</name>
          <address>dbvsvksn ,</address>
          <dob>Jun 2<dob>
      <country>us</country>
     </data>
     <data>
      <userid>3</userid>
          <name>J</name>
          <address>dbvsvksn ,</address>
          <dob>Dec 6<dob>
      <country>us</country>
     </data>
</search>

From this xml file i am listing out the name’s in a list view in an activity. In the list view when a name is clicked it moves over to a new activity where i want to display the correct address, country and dob.

I am able to get the xml file and list out the names in a list view, but i don’t know how to display the exact tag related to the name selected , please help me. How to do this….

Answer 1

You say you can get the xml file and list out the names, so you apparently are parsing the xml. Are you using one of the XML parser classes (DOM or SAX)? If so, presumably you are building some sort of data structure based on the parsing (probably an array, judging from the XML fragment you posted). Use the index of the selected name to index into the array and retrieve the rest of the data you need.

Perhaps if you posted some code showing what you’ve tried, we can provide more specific help.
