this is xmlpullparser to get name of img

public class trangaXmlpullparser {
    List<name_emp> name_empList;
    private name_emp n_e;
    private String text;

    public trangaXmlpullparser() {
        name_empList = new ArrayList<name_emp>();
    }

    public List<name_emp> getName_empList() {
        return name_empList;
    }

    public List<name_emp> parse(InputStream is) {
        XmlPullParserFactory factory = null;
        XmlPullParser parser = null;
        try {
            factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
            factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
            parser = factory.newPullParser();
            parser.setInput(is, null);
            int eventType = parser.getEventType();
            while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
                String tagname = parser.getName();
                switch (eventType) {
                    case XmlPullParser.START_TAG:
                        String attr = parser.getAttributeValue(null, "name");
                        if (tagname.equalsIgnoreCase("img")) {
                            n_e = new name_emp();
                            n_e.setName(attr);
                        }
                        break;
                    case XmlPullParser.TEXT:
                        text = parser.getText();
                        break;
                    case XmlPullParser.END_TAG:
                        if (tagname.equalsIgnoreCase("img")) {
                            name_empList.add(n_e);
                        }
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }
                eventType = parser.next();
            }
        }catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return name_empList;
    }
}

Solution 
  • public class trangaXmlpullparser {
    List<name_emp> name_empList;
    private name_emp n_e;
    private String text;

    public trangaXmlpullparser() {
        name_empList = new ArrayList<name_emp>();
    }

    public List<name_emp> getName_empList() {
        return name_empList;
    }

    public List<name_emp> parse(InputStream is) {
        XmlPullParserFactory factory = null;
        XmlPullParser parser = null;
        try {
            factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
            factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
            parser = factory.newPullParser();
            parser.setInput(is, null);
            int eventType = parser.getEventType();
            String lastAttr = ""; // Initialize a string variable to hold the last attr you passed to setName.
            String attr = "";
            while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
                String tagname = parser.getName();
                switch (eventType) {
                    case XmlPullParser.START_TAG:
                        attr = parser.getAttributeValue(null, "name");
                        if (tagname.equalsIgnoreCase("img")) {
                            n_e = new name_emp();
                            if(!attr.equals(lastAttr)) { // check if the attr you just parsed now is equal to the last unique attr you parsed
                                n_e.setName(attr); // if its not equal that means this attr is not a duplicate and you can set the name
                                lastAttr = attr; // update the last attr variable to hold the last attr you just assigned to n_e.
                            }
                        }
                        break;
                    case XmlPullParser.TEXT:
                        text = parser.getText();
                        break;
                    case XmlPullParser.END_TAG:
                        if (tagname.equalsIgnoreCase("img") && !attr.equals(lastAttr)) {
                            name_empList.add(n_e);
                        }
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }
                eventType = parser.next();
            }
        }catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return name_empList;
    }
}

    What I can suggest for your requirement is this,

    • Hold a variable called lastAttr that holds the last attribute value you just passed to your n_e variable.
    • if your attr you just parsed deoes not equals the lastAttr you are holding then pass it to the n_e.setName method and update the lastAttr variable, the code snippet is above along with comments.
