I am attempting to parse XML data from the following URL
Traffic Scotland Current Incidents
Right now, I have an app that, on button press, gets the XML data, attempts to parse it, and then just displays the raw xml data as I can't currently parse anything.
As far as I can tell, the code below should work, and I'm at a loss for why it doesn't. It seems to go straight from START_DOCUMENT (eventType 0) to END_DOCUMENT (eventType 1).
public void onClick(View view)
{
if (view == ciButton)
viewCI();
if (view == prButton)
{
viewPR();
}
}
public void viewCI()
{
new Thread(new Task(urlCI)).start();
}
public void viewPR()
{
new Thread(new Task(urlPR)).start();
}
class Task implements Runnable
{
private String url1;
private String text;
Incident incident = null;
ArrayList<Incident> incidents = null;
public Task (String aUrl)
{
url1 = aUrl;
}
@Override
public void run()
{
String inputLine;
Log.e("MyTag","in run");
try
{
Log.e("MyTag","in try");
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
URL url = new URL(url1);
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream());
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
int lineNum = 0;
//Skips first line of XML feed
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
{
lineNum++;
if (lineNum > 1)
{
result = result + inputLine;
}
}
xpp.setInput(uc.getInputStream(),null);
int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT)
{
Log.e("MyTag","in while");
Log.e("MyTag",Integer.toString(eventType));
if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT)
{
Log.e("MyTag","Start Doc");
}
else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG)
{
String tag = xpp.getName();
Log.e("MyTag","Start tag: "+tag);
}
else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG)
{
String tag = xpp.getText();
Log.e("MyTag","End Tag: "+tag);
}
else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT)
{
String tag = xpp.getText();
Log.e("MyTag","Text: "+tag);
}
Log.e("MyTag","xpp.next");
eventType = xpp.next();
Log.e("MyTag","ET after next: "+Integer.toString(eventType));
}
}
catch (XmlPullParserException xppe)
{
Log.e("MyTag","XPPE: ");
xppe.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
Log.e("MyTag", "IOE");
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run() {
Log.d("UI thread", "I am the UI thread");
urlInput.setText(result);
}
});
}
}
When I run the code above, I log the following:

xpp.setInput(uc.getInputStream(),null);
That is the second time you use uc.getInputStream()
. You already read the whole stream. You already got the whole document in String result
.
You cannot read the stream a second time. You cannot read the document a second time. It will indicate the end of stream right away if you try.
