kXML (XmlPullParser) not hitting END_TAG
- by Tejaswi Yerukalapudi
Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out a way to rewrite some of my XML parsing code. I'm currently working with kXML2 and here's my code -
byte[] xmlByteArray;
try {
xmlByteArray = inputByteArray;
ByteArrayInputStream xmlStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlByteArray);
InputStreamReader xmlReader = new InputStreamReader(xmlStream);
KXmlParser parser = new KXmlParser();
parser.setInput(xmlReader);
parser.nextTag();
while(true)
{
int eventType = parser.next();
String tag = parser.getName();
if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG)
{
System.out.println("****************** STARTING TAG "+tag+"******************");
if(tag == null || tag.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
{
continue;
}
else if(tag.equalsIgnoreCase("Category"))
{
// Gets the name of the category.
String attribValue = parser.getAttributeValue(0);
}
}
if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG)
{
System.out.println("****************** ENDING TAG "+tag+"******************");
}
else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT)
{
break;
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
My input XML is as follows -
<root xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" xmlns="">
<Category name="xyz">
<elmt1>value1</elmt1>
<elmt2>value2</elmt2>
</Category>
<Category name="abc">
<elmt1>value1</elmt1>
<elmt2>value2</elmt2>
</Category>
<Category name="def">
<elmt1>value1</elmt1>
<elmt2>value2</elmt2>
</Category>
My problem briefly is, I'm expecting it to hit XmlPullParser.END_TAG when it encounters a closing xml tag. It does hit the XmlPullParser.START_TAG but it just seems to skip / ignore all the END_TAGs.
Is this how is it's supposed to work? Or am I missing something?
Any help is much appreciated,
Teja.
