How I get Attribute using by XMLPull parser
Call getAttributeValue like the following
parser.getAttributeValue(null, "url")
inside of your if statement. Make sure getEventType()
is equal to START_TAG since your current if statement will also evaluate to true when your parser is set to the END_TAG portion of your media:content (which would give you a -1 attribute count).
EDIT Since you are having so much trouble, I hope this little test function does what you want:
public void parseXml() throws XmlPullParserException, IOException{ XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance(); XmlPullParser parser = factory.newPullParser(); parser.setInput(new StringReader( "<media:content medium=\"image\" url=\"http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/111010-romney-health-4p.thumb.jpg\">" + "<media:credit role=\"provider\">Getty Images file</media:credit>" + "<media:copyright>2010 Getty Images</media:copyright>" + "<media:text><![CDATA[<p><a href=\"http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44854320/ns/politics-decision_2012/\"><img align=\"left\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/111010-romney-health-4p.thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Mitt Romney speaks at the National Press Club March 5, 2010 in Washington, D.C.\" style=\"margin:0 5px 5px 0\" /></a></p><br clear=\"all\" />]]></media:text>" + "</media:content>")); while (!"media:content".equals(parser.getName()) && parser.getEventType() != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) { parser.next(); } Log.d("media count -->", parser.getAttributeValue(null, "url"));}
private String readLink(XmlPullParser parser) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException { parser.require(XmlPullParser.START_TAG, ns, "enclosure"); final String link = parser.getAttributeValue(null, "url"); return link;}
This works for me in android with XmlPullParser.
