I'm making an android app - where I need to have weather-information. I've found this from yahoo weather. It's an XML and I want information such as: "day", "low" and "high".
Refer: http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=12718298&u=c
<yweather:forecast day="Sun" date="19 Feb 2012" low="-2" high="3" text="Clear" code="31"/>
(Line can be found in the bottom of the link)
I have no idea how to do this - please help. Source codes, examples and clues will be appreciated.
Here's the solution for future users:
InputStream inputXml = null;
try
{
inputXml = new URL("http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=12718298&u=c").openConnection().getInputStream();
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.
newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputXml);
NodeList nodi = doc.getElementsByTagName("yweather:forecast");
if (nodi.getLength() > 0)
{
Element nodo = (Element)nodi.item(0);
String strLow = nodo.getAttribute("low");
Element nodo1 = (Element)nodi.item(0);
String strHigh = nodo1.getAttribute("high");
System.out.println("Temperature low: " + strLow);
System.out.println("Temperature high: " + strHigh);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
finally
{
try
{
if (inputXml != null)
inputXml.close();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
It's been a couple of years since I used XML in Android, but this was quite helpful to me when I started out: anddev.org
The link seems to be a feed. (which is XML, obviously). There are many feed-reader APIs in Java. So, here you go
I guess this is already done. (easily found on Google) http://www.javahouse.altervista.org/gambino/Articolo_lettura_feed_da_java_en.html
