The issue has still "new" status so either Google is just ignoring it
or they think it's a bug in my code.
I tried a little more and I experienced similar problems when fetching
XML that has encoded html inside the tags (typically RSS feeds). This
code works perfectly when running on the desktop but on android it
just refuses to give me the text after it encounters "<" in this
node:
<description>Test html chars: <b>v2.1</b> released.</
description>
The full sample code is included below in case someone would like to
give it a try or tell me if I am missing something here!?
Desktop output:
********* RSS: Test html chars: <b>v2.1</b> released. Read about the
changes here!
Android output:
****************Test html chars:
Sample code:
URI rssurl = URI.create("http://www.hvaerstillingen.no/docs/rss/
test.txt");
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);
Element descEl = (Element) element.getElementsByTagName
("description").item(0);
Node textNode = descEl.getFirstChild();
System.out.println("********* RSS: "+ textNode.getNodeValue
());
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
