When attempting to read and display XML metadata, how can I test
whether any such data exists? I am using code that I got from the
Internet and it reads the XML metadata into a byte array. I tried
testing << if (array.length == 0 ) but got a
"java.lang.NullPointerException" error.
This isn't really an iText question, it's a pure Java question.
If the value of array is null, then it's normal you get a
NullPointerException when you ask this null object for its length.
You should do something like this:
if (array == null || array.length == 0) {
// there is no XMP in this file
}
