Why my xml is not parsing properly?

Question

I want to parse my xml as below. Actually I am trying to debug it, so control is not going to that School tag in the startElement() method.

<response>
 <school>
   <School>
      <id>1</id>
      <school_name>ABC</school_name>
      <logo/>
      <phone>+91-9764239061</phone>
   </School>
 </school>
</response>

and my code is :

private static final String TAG = SchoolParser.class.getName().toString(); private List schoolListData ; private boolean isSuccess; private School school; private StringBuffer buffer;

private boolean debug = true;


public List<School> getSchoolListData(){
    return schoolListData;
}


@Override
public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
    super.startDocument();
    schoolListData = new ArrayList<School>();
}


@Override
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
        Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
    super.startElement(uri, localName, qName, attributes);
    Log.d("data in School Parser", "Inside");
    if(localName.equals("School")){
        printInfoLog("New school======>");
        school = new School();

    }else if(localName.equals("id")){
        Log.d("data in School Parser inside Localin", "Inside Local");

    }else if(localName.equals("school_name")){

    }else if(localName.equals("logo")){

    }else if(localName.equals("phone")){

    }

    Log.d("data in School Parser inside Localout", "Inside Local");

}


@Override
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
        throws SAXException {
    super.characters(ch, start, length);
    buffer.append(new String(ch, start, length));
    printInfoLog(buffer.toString());
}



@Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
        throws SAXException {
    super.endElement(uri, localName, qName);

    if(localName.equals("School")){
        printInfoLog("Add New School======>");
        schoolListData.add(school);
        school =null;
    }else if(localName.equals("id")){
        school.setId(Integer.parseInt(buffer.toString().trim()));
    }else if(localName.equals("school_name")){
        school.setSchoolName(buffer.toString().trim());
    }else if(localName.equals("logo")){
        school.setLogo(buffer.toString().trim().getBytes());
    }else if(localName.equals("phone")){
        school.setPhn_no(buffer.toString().trim());
    }
    //      int size = buffer.length(); 
    //      buffer.delete(0, size);
    Log.i("buffer is empty", ""+buffer.toString());
}

@Override
public void endDocument() throws SAXException {
    super.endDocument();
    isSuccess = false;
}

private void printInfoLog(String msg){
    if(debug ){
        Log.i(TAG, msg);
    }
}

}

change this

if(localName.equals("School")){
    printInfoLog("Add New School======>");
    schoolListData.add(school);
    school =null;
}else if(localName.equals("id")){
    school.setId(Integer.parseInt(buffer.toString().trim()));
}else if(localName.equals("school_name")){
    school.setSchoolName(buffer.toString().trim());
}else if(localName.equals("logo")){
    school.setLogo(buffer.toString().trim().getBytes());
}else if(localName.equals("phone")){
    school.setPhn_no(buffer.toString().trim());
}

to

if(qName.equals("School")){
    printInfoLog("Add New School======>");
    schoolListData.add(school);
    school =null;
}else if(qName.equals("id")){
    school.setId(Integer.parseInt(buffer.toString().trim()));
}else if(qName.equals("school_name")){
    school.setSchoolName(buffer.toString().trim());
}else if(qName.equals("logo")){
    school.setLogo(buffer.toString().trim().getBytes());
}else if(qName.equals("phone")){
    school.setPhn_no(buffer.toString().trim());
}

@user2890202 also check if the startElement is called too :) – Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille Oct 23 '13 at 05:25
it is not checking the tags thats why it is giving NullPointerException..., But I have given proper tag names and compared it correctly... – user2890202 Oct 23 '13 at 05:35
m nt sure why, bt where is the .parse method called ? refer to [this for xml parsing in android](http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2012/01/xml-parsing-using-saxparser-with.html) – Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille Oct 23 '13 at 05:39
that is in other class where I am calling, parser.parse(xmlStrem,new SchoolParser()); – user2890202 Oct 23 '13 at 06:20
Main problem is, it is not detecting/comparing with tags..why is it so?? – user2890202 Oct 23 '13 at 06:21
Log.i the localname and qname to see if there;s any data in it – Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille Oct 23 '13 at 06:32
it is not detecting the tag.. so How control goes inside to Log localname values – user2890202 Oct 23 '13 at 06:43
write the log i value immediately before the if condition, to check what localname and qnames it is detecting then ul know why its nt getting into the if – Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille Oct 23 '13 at 06:53
does localname contain anything ?? Log.i("tag","localName" + localName); check the value that localName contains, and also qName – Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille Oct 23 '13 at 08:01
