Apps Reading data from XML document

[kaibuki]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post on this forum,

I am trying to read a XML document from internet and view all the data from it in my app.
unfortunately so far I can only read one node.
any one can help me with the code/suggestions on how to read XML data and display on screen + can later use that data.

Thanks alot..looking forward for replies.

cheers..

Kai!

The easiest method is to use XmlPullParser, there is a good example in the android documentation:

XmlPullParser | Android Developers

Thanx tommoor!

as the sample code available online, is only able to read one node, I want to read all the node.

Looking forward for replies..

Thanks!!

try this code.
ArrayList gridImgId = new ArrayList();
ArrayList gridImgName = new ArrayList();
ArrayList gridImgThump = new ArrayList();
ArrayList gridUrl = new ArrayList();
try
{
URL url = new URL("http://thebeswallpapers.com/api/androidxml.php?action=getCategoryList");
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
NodeList nodeList = doc.getElementsByTagName("category");
for(int a = 0; a < nodeList.getLength(); a++)
{
//nodeList.item(0).getChildNodes();
NodeList child=nodeList.item(a).getChildNodes();
String imgid=child.item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String imgname=child.item(1).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String imgthump=child.item(2).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
gridUrl.add("http://thebesthdwallpapers.com/wallpapers/"+imgid+"/"+imgthump);
gridImgId.add(imgid);
gridImgName.add(imgname);
gridImgThump.add(imgthump);
}
/*for(int a = 0; a < 10; a++)
{
gridUrl.add("http://www.xyz.com/samples/images/images"+ a +".png");

}*/
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
}


String[] urls = (String[]) gridUrl.toArray(new String[gridUrl.size()]);
String[] ImageId = (String[]) gridImgId.toArray(new String[gridImgId.size()]);
String[] ImageName = (String[]) gridImgName.toArray(new String[gridImgName.size()]);
String[] ImageThump = (String[]) gridImgThump.toArray(new String[gridImgThump.size()]);
