Closed 7 years ago.
I'm trying to create a RSS Reader that reads in a Rss feed and displays it in a list view. I got his to work with other RSS Feeds but I can't get it to work on the Feed that I actually need it for. I validated the feed and it says that it is a valid RSS feed with no errors. I know that the problem/solution is in the getDomFromXMLString method which is where it is actually pulling the XML in, but I can't figure out how to make it read it is correctly.
Here's my Main Activity
package com.example.lehi.events;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
String key_items = "item";
String key_title = "title";
String key_description = "description";
String key_link = "link";
String key_date = "pubDate";
ListView lstPost = null;
List<HashMap<String, Object>> post_lists = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>>();
List<String> lists = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = null;
RSSReader rssfeed = new RSSReader();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lstPost = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lstPosts);
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, android.R.id.text1, lists) {
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView txt1 = (TextView) view
.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
TextView txt2 = (TextView) view
.findViewById(android.R.id.text2);
HashMap<String, Object> data = post_lists.get(position);
txt1.setText(data.get(key_title).toString());
txt2.setText(data.get(key_description).toString());
return view;
}
};
Document xmlFeed;
xmlFeed = rssfeed.getRSSFromServer("http://calendar.byui.edu/RSSFeeds.aspx?data=hhAbVFpDFO7OxcTcYlM9Lk3inbX%2bJ%2baS3fubTE468TQI91kccS33vQ%3d%3d");
NodeList nodes = xmlFeed.getElementsByTagName("item");
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element item = (Element) nodes.item(i);
HashMap<String, Object> feed = new HashMap<String, Object>();
feed.put(key_title, rssfeed.getValue(item, key_title));
feed.put(key_description, rssfeed.getValue(item, key_description));
feed.put(key_link, rssfeed.getValue(item, key_link));
feed.put(key_date, rssfeed.getValue(item, key_date));
post_lists.add(feed);
lists.add(feed.get(key_title).toString());
}
lstPost.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
Here's the feed URL

Try printing the stack trace if there's an exception in getDomFromXMLString. I'd guess there is an exception, which is currently being swallowed, and the returned Document is then null.
Edit: Now we see the SAXParseException: Unexpected token . That is the UTF-8 byte order mark. Try EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity, "UTF-8") and see if that helps it to swallow the BOM.

I'm a newbie android developer and I am making, or trying to make a File explorer that wil be capable of opening almost all file types. From music files, through video files, document files and many others. BUT, I came across a huge problem that my app compiled successfully but it does not open. Here is my code:
package com.tstudios.openit;

}else{
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setTitle("[" + file.getName() + "] folder can't be read!")

}
}else {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)

and this is logcat I get when I lauch the app, btw I am using Sony Xperia Z1 Compact if that helps

And another question, how to put icons before file names ? Depending on extension
Thank you very much for your help
Move the
mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
to onCreate() after setContentView(), leaving just the member variable declaration at the class level:
private ImageView mImageView;
Before onCreate() there's no window yet for the activity and you'll get the NPE.
Before setContentView() there's no view hierarchy to search from and a null is returned.
private ImageView mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
to use findViewById you need a valid Activity. It happens after the activity has been attached
Place this line private ImageView mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gallery); after setContentView . It will resolve null pointer exception. After this, if you get any other exception, Pls tell.
I am new to Android application development and Java programming, currently, I'm working on a project to retrieve from my database the status of a service. However, the application will stop working whenever I tried to submit my tracking ID.

According to your LogCat message:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.example.trackstatus.ViewTrackingStatusActivity.onCreate(ViewTrackingStatusActivity.java:55)
You are missing :
setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
where your EditText trackingNumberText must be declared.
thats the reason for what trackingNumberText is null
trackingNumberText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.trackingNumberText);
More info:
setContentView() method
Update:
Since you have this new exception: NetworkOnMainThreadException
android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException at android.os.StrictMode$AndroidBlockGuardPolicy.onNetwork(StrictMode.java:1133)
you have to implement the use of AsyncTask
And hey! you don´t need to use runOnUiThread inside the doInBackground() method of the Asynctask :P:
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
// updating UI from Background Thread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Move the lines that implies operations on UI thread like
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Service not found!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
to the onPostExecute() method of the Asynctask
The error is in Line55
String trackingno = trackingNumberText.getText().toString();
trackingNumberText is NULL
instead try to do NULL check
String trackingno = "";
if(trackingNumberText.getText().length() > 0)
{
trackingno = trackingNumberText.getText().toString();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Enter values", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
EDIT:
You have to send all requests to server in Background Thread, use AsyncTask
Here is the detailed example for performing Network Operation.

You cannot perform network tasks on the main thread because it might block your application in case the network task takes a very long time. You need to run such tasks in the background using AsyncTask instead.
Here's the documentation.
Try using the below code inside your main activity below setContentView(), to avoid the networkOnmainThread exception..
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
}
Looks like the error is not of json.
You are trying to call a url from Main Thread which is not allowed from android 4.0
Try using AsynTask or call the url from secondary thread.

The exception tells you everything you need to know. You are trying to submit data on the main thread. Do the networking operations in a separate thread.
There's a link in the docs that explains it, and this might help you to move on.
I am currently having trouble connecting to my webservice on android. I am using a Jetty web service and building it using ANT. On my laptop it works perfectly and displays items from my database. However it won't seem to connect on my Android application. Attached is the code and LOGCAT report.
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Android2Servlet extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dbtest);
TextView txtresp = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.servlet_response);
String url = "http://(MY LAPTOPS IP):8085/DB";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
try{
System.out.println("About to execute");
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
String helpedResp=HttpUnpack.request(response);
System.out.println(helpedResp);
txtresp.setText(helpedResp);
System.out.println(response);
}catch(Exception ex){
txtresp.setText("Failed!");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
} }
The HTTP Unpack File
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
public class HttpUnpack {
public static String request(HttpResponse response){
String result = "";
try{ InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
str.append(line + "\n");
}
in.close();
result = str.toString();
}catch(Exception ex){
result = "Error retrieving response";
}
return result;
}
}
The HTTP Unpack and the Android2Servlet do not cause any errors, however the text box only returns "Failed!".

Any response would be greatly helpful.
Regards.
EDIT:
I have now removed the network access and put it in another Java class. And called it form another class. And it is still returning the same errors. Any other advice?
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
public class androidconnectors {
public static final String main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String txtresp = "";
try{
String url = "http://(LAPTOPS IP):8085/Hello";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
System.out.println("About to execute");
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
String helpedResp=HttpUnpack.request(response); // Http Unpack is not part of
System.out.println(helpedResp); // of HttpClient library
txtresp =(helpedResp);
System.out.println(response);
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return txtresp;
}
}
And the android class.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Settings extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dbtest);
Button mybutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonpress);
mybutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
TextView txtresp = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.servlet_response);
String[] args = null;
try {
String x = androidconnectors.main(args);
txtresp.setText(x);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
txtresp.setText("Failed");
}
}
});
}
}
It would seem, based on a quick google search, that since Honeycomb you are not supposed to execute network access on your app's main thread (to improve responsiveness).
Create another thread for network access as suggested here.
You can't do Network Operations on the UI Thread better use AsyncTask/Service/IntentService
NetworkOnMainThreadException
The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a
networking operation on its main thread.(Since API 11)
To resovled StrictMode issue you need to use below code in your activity -
static{
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
}
