Parsing an XML from Online in Android

Create a fresh project and name it ParseXMLDemo
Then in the ParseXMLDemo.java file copy this code

|
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;

public class ParseXMLDemo extends ListActivity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
       
        ArrayList<String> mylist = new ArrayList<String>();
        String xml = ParseXMLMethods.getXML();
        Document doc = ParseXMLMethods.XMLfromString(xml);
        int numResults = ParseXMLMethods.numResults(doc);

        if((numResults <= 0)){
          Toast.makeText(ParseXMLDemo.this, "There is no data in the xml file", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
              finish();
        }

        NodeList children = doc.getElementsByTagName("os");
        for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++)
          {
            HashMap<string string=""> map =new HashMap<string string="">();
            Element e = (Element)children.item(i);
            map.put("id", ParseXMLMethods.getValue(e, "id"));
            map.put("name", ParseXMLMethods.getValue(e, "name"));
            map.put("site", ParseXMLMethods.getValue(e, "site"));
            mylist.add(map);
          }
        ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,mylist ,R .layout.list_layout,
                          new String[] { "name", "site" },
                          new int[] { R.id.title, R.id.subtitle});

       setListAdapter(adapter);

       
        final ListView lv = getListView();
        lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                HashMap<String, String> o = (HashMap<String, String>) lv.getItemAtPosition(position);
                Toast.makeText(ParseXMLDemo.this,o.get("name"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    } }
            

Now create another java file inside the src folder and name it ParseXMLMethods.java and copy this contents into it.
