</rss>;The required records have the tag "item". Each record has elements with the tags "title", "description", "link", "pubDate" and "guid".
Take "item" as the entryTag. Take "title", "description", "link", "pubDate" and "guid" as entryKeys.
Method 1.
String entryTag = "item";
ArrayList<String> entryKeys = new ArrayList<>();
entryKeys.add("title");
entryKeys.add("description");
entryKeys.add("link");
entryKeys.add("pubDate");
RssXmlProcessor xmlProcessor = new RssXmlProcessor(entryTag, entryKeys);
xmlProcessor.execute(xml_string, new RssXmlToHashMapListHandler() {
@Override
public void onStart() {
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(List<HashMap<String, String>> items) {
//consuming the processed items using the same keys
for(HashMap<String, String> item: items) {
String title = item.get("title");
String description = item.get("description");
String link = item.get("link");
String pubDate = item.get("pubDate");
}
}
@Override
public void onFail(Exception ex) {
}
@Override
public void onComplete() {
}
});Method 2.
String entryTag = "item";
ArrayList<String> entryKeys = new ArrayList<>();
entryKeys.add("title");
entryKeys.add("description");
entryKeys.add("link");
entryKeys.add("pubDate");
RssXmlProcessor xmlProcessor = new RssXmlProcessor(entryTag, entryKeys);
xmlProcessor.execute(xml_string, new RssXmlToJSONListHandler() {
@Override
public void onStart() {
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(List<JSONObject> items) {
//consuming the processed items using the same keys
for(JSONObject item: items) {
try {
String title = item.getString("title");
String description = item.getString("description");
String link = item.getString("link");
String pubDate = item.getString("pubDate");
}catch (Exception ex){}
}
}
@Override
public void onFail(Exception ex) {
}
@Override
public void onComplete() {
}
});Method 3.
String entryTag = "item";
ArrayList<String> entryKeys = new ArrayList<>();
entryKeys.add("title");
entryKeys.add("description");
entryKeys.add("link");
entryKeys.add("pubDate");
RssXmlProcessor xmlProcessor = new RssXmlProcessor(entryTag, entryKeys);
xmlProcessor.execute(xml_string, new RssXmlToJSONArrayHandler() {
@Override
public void onStart() {
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(JSONArray items) {
//consuming the processed items using the same keys
for(int i=0; i<items.length(); i++) {
try {
JSONObject item = items.getJSONObject(i);
String title = item.getString("title");
String description = item.getString("description");
String link = item.getString("link");
String pubDate = item.getString("pubDate");
}catch (Exception ex){}
