Android parse XML to get node value

Question

So, I have written something small to parse the feed for a Youtube user.

The problem is that when I call getNodeValue() null is returned. Why is this? Any ideas or alternative approached appreciated, thanks.

Here's a snippet of how i'm currently doing things:

try {

    Document d = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse("https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/estudiosabiertostv/uploads");

    NodeList entries = d.getElementsByTagName("entry");

    for(int i = 0; i < entries.getLength(); i++) {

        NodeList children = entries.item(i).getChildNodes();
        YoutubeVideo video = new YoutubeVideo();

        for(int j = 0; j < children.getLength(); j++) {

            Node child = children.item(j);

            if(child.getNodeName().equals("title")) {

                video.title = child.getNodeValue();
                break;
            }
        }
        videos.add(video);
    }
}
catch (Exception e) {

    e.printStackTrace();
}

Here is the url where I am getting the XML from:

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/estudiosabiertostv/uploads

Here's a snippet of an entry, of which I am trying to get the title

<entry>
    <id>http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/oDbOmTY3gDw</id>

Answer 1

The title node should in turn have a child - a text node, and that one should contain the actual text.

Also, beware of fragmentation: there may be several adjacent text nodes there, as discussed here: http://www.drillio.com/en/software-development/java/fragmented-xml-text-nodes/
