Hi! Does anyone have a working RSS parser with Android? I tried doing simple DOM parsing of the XML but the character encoding isn't handled properly so the norwegian characters aren't displayed. I have tried everything but when I get the description element I just get the text until the norwegian character. Any sample code of parsing international RSS feeds would be very welcome!
Here is the feed that I am having problems with: http://www.dagbladet.no/rss/fotball/ -Christer Sample code that I started out with (have tried lots of encoding tricks to no avail): Feed feed = createFeed(this, new java.net.URI("http://www.dagbladet.no/rss/fotball/";)); ... public Feed createFeed(Context ctx, URI rssurl) { Feed feed = new Feed(); try { DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = builder.parse(rssurl.toURL().openStream()); NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item"); for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) { Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i); NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title"); Element line = (Element) title.item(0); String feedTitle = getCharacterDataFromElement(line); String url = getCharacterDataFromElement (element.getElementsByTagName("link").item(0)); Article art = new Article(); art.title = feedTitle; art.url = url; art.description = getCharacterDataFromElement (element.getElementsByTagName("description").item(0)); feed.articles.add(art); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return feed; } public static String getCharacterDataFromElement(Node e) { Node child = e.getFirstChild(); if(child == null) return "?"; if (child instanceof CharacterData) { CharacterData cd = (CharacterData) child; return cd.getData(); } return "?"; } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
