Ok I know everyone is going to tell me not to use RegEx for parsing HTML, but I'm programming on Android and don't have ready access to an HTML parser (that I'm aware of). Besides, this is server generated HTML which should be more consistent than user-generated HTML. The regex looks like this: Pattern patternMP3 = Pattern.compile. Code...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need a library in java that can take HTML content and generate text in the same format that is generated by the Linux lynx program.
That's it. Reasons below if you care.
I need to expose data provided by 3rd party servers to end users on Android. Data format is ancient, in badly formatted HTML, so much that I've tried reading it using java and it fails occasionally (unacceptable). It is also growing every month (preinstall ruled out) and I can't convince them to change to "modern" stuff (life would be great in XML etc.).
Shortest route: I wrote a class to use the W3 html2txt service online (google search it). It worked fine on the app until I got complains and noticed that the W3 service fails occasionally. It's not that big of a deal, but the black box logic expects the output to be in this "lynx like" text format.
So I would like a library to do the conversion (HTML->TXT) in "lynx style" inside the app and avoid the outages in the W3 service. And besides, the lynx output the probably the best I've seen, the most organized and neat.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to parse an html page downloaded from a web server and have pretty much trouble with that. I am trying with saxparser, is there any better solution? With sax I am trying to pre-process the page to make it XML compliant (replace <br> with <br />), but I still have some troubles because of errors in the page (a couple of mismatched tags and "&" in attributes value ISO &). Is there any way to make sax parser ignore these errors and keep on parsing? I tried to use ErrorHandler interface, but I could not catch anything.
View 7 Replies View RelatedLike the title says, I am thinking about developing my own browser for Android devices.
My first thought is to know what kind of possibilities I have, before I begin creating my software architecture. Are there any (open?) Browser Engines you could include into your library and reuse them?
(There are some unknown browsers in the Android Market and I can't imagine they implemented the parsing).
Furthermore: If there IS something like I've described before, is it possible to modify (or "fine tune") the render methods? This is one of the most interesting points I guess.
And to end this question and catch the else-case: What would be the alternative way to begin?
[I guess this is not only interesting to know for mobile developers, also for desktop software developers]

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to parse some XML (for an Android app), and it seems pretty ridiculous how difficult it is to do in Java. It seems like it requires creating an XML handler which has various callbacks (start Element, end Element, and so on), and you have to then take care of changing all this data into objects. Something like this tutorial.All I really need is to change an XML document into a multidimensional array, and even better would be to have some sort of Hpricot processor. Is there any way to do this, or do I really have to write all the extra code in the example above?

I'm trying to parse many string dates to Date(s), some with time part, others without, with the "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm" format.

But this causes an exception, even with setLenient forced at true. Do you know how I may convert to Date a lot of strings formatted like "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", but with someones without time, some others without secondes, and still other one with everything ?
Can we parse the iPhone/iPad based pList XML from Java on Android?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my Android client I want to receive JSON objects from a server. By googling I found a lot of different possibilities how to best parse the InputStream from the Server, but most of them wrote their own parser. Isn't there a library which does this parsing for me?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a huge set of xmls(2000 files each having 500 lines) to be parsed in Android for fetching the information from it. All the files will be present in the device. I had this to be done in iPhone and i accomplished it by converting all the XMLs to PLIST files. The PLIST processing in a iOS was faster than parsing a XML in iphone. Similarly for android is there any options available? or What are the best way to parse those XMLs in android as i feel the same problem we had in iphone(performance incurred in parsing) will be here also?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Android application which grabs some data from an external XML source. I've stripped out some HTML from one of the XML elements, but it's in the format:
