rss parsing using dom, html format tags


i have to parse a RSS feed and display the same in android. i am using a DOM parser. i am able to parse all the tag except for the tag that has html formatting tags. for example

<description>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">

<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; max-width: 600px; margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margi

</description>

Could some one please guide me how do I get the unformatted text content from that tag . Also, changing the RSS feed is not an option...

thanks


Solution

  • You won't be able to use the DOM parser, and really shouldn't be either. Use the SAXParser class instead, check out my answer here with the linked tutorial.
