RootElement

Kotlin |Java

open class RootElement : Element

kotlin.Any
↳	android.sax.Element
	↳	android.sax.RootElement

The root XML element. The entry point for this API. Not safe for concurrent use.

For example, passing this XML:

<feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>  <entry>  <id>bob</id>  </entry>  </feed>

to this code:

static final String ATOM_NAMESPACE = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";    ...    RootElement root = new RootElement(ATOM_NAMESPACE, "feed");  Element entry = root.getChild(ATOM_NAMESPACE, "entry");  entry.getChild(ATOM_NAMESPACE, "id").setEndTextElementListener(  new EndTextElementListener() {  public void end(String body) {  System.out.println("Entry ID: " + body);  }  });    XMLReader reader = ...;  reader.setContentHandler(root.getContentHandler());  reader.parse(...);

would output:

Entry ID: bob

Inherited functions

From class Element

`Element!`	`getChild(localName: String!)` Gets the child element with the given name. Uses an empty string as the namespace.
`Element!`	`getChild(uri: String!, localName: String!)` Gets the child element with the given name.
`Element!`	`requireChild(localName: String!)` Gets the child element with the given name. Uses an empty string as the namespace. We will throw a `org.xml.sax.SAXException` at parsing time if the specified child is missing. This helps you ensure that your listeners are called.
`Element!`	`requireChild(uri: String!, localName: String!)` Gets the child element with the given name. We will throw a `org.xml.sax.SAXException` at parsing time if the specified child is missing. This helps you ensure that your listeners are called.
`Unit`	`setElementListener(elementListener: ElementListener!)` Sets start and end element listeners at the same time.
`Unit`	`setEndElementListener(endElementListener: EndElementListener!)` Sets a listener for the end of this element.
`Unit`	`setEndTextElementListener(endTextElementListener: EndTextElementListener!)` Sets a listener for the end of this text element.
`Unit`	`setStartElementListener(startElementListener: StartElementListener!)` Sets a listener for the start of this element.
`Unit`	`setTextElementListener(elementListener: TextElementListener!)` Sets start and end text element listeners at the same time.
