Thread: problems with my code

Hello!

I'm new here and I'm new att java programming. I have to similar problems with my code.

Here's my entire code:

package tingsholm.app.pwar;

import java.net.URL;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import org.w3c.dom.CharacterData;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.sax.Element;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Nyhetsflöde extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

TextView textview = new TextView(this);
textview.setText("This is the Nyhetflöde tab");
setContentView(textview);
}


private static Nyhetsflöde instance = null;
private Nyhetsflöde() {
}
public static Nyhetsflöde getInstance() {
if(instance == null)
instance = new Nyhetsflöde();
return instance;
}
public void writeNews() {
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBu ilder();
URL u = new URL("http://test.medieprogrammet.eu/#home"); // your feed url
Document doc = builder.parse(u.openStream());
NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");
for(int i=0;i<nodes.getLength();i++) {
Element element = (Element)nodes.item(i);
System.out.println("Title: " + getElementValue(element,"title"));
System.out.println("Link: " + getElementValue(element,"link"));
System.out.println("Publish Date: " + getElementValue(element,"pubDate"));
System.out.println("Author: " + getElementValue(element,"dc:creator"));
System.out.println("Description: " + getElementValue(element,"description"));
System.out.println();
}//for
}//try
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
private String getCharacterDataFromElement(Element e) {
try {
Node child = e.getFirstChild();
if(child instanceof CharacterData) {
CharacterData cd = (CharacterData) child;
return cd.getData();
}
}catch(Exception ex) {

}
return "";
} //private String getCharacterDataFromElement
protected float getFloat(String value) {
if(value != null && !value.equals(""))
return Float.parseFloat(value);
else
return 0;
}
protected String getElementValue(Element parent,String label) {
return getCharacterDataFromElement((Element)parent.getElementsByTagName(label).item(0));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Nyhetsflöde reader = Nyhetsflöde.getInstance();
reader.writeNews();
}


}

first problem: The method getFirstChild() is undefined for the type Element
second problem: The method getElementsByTagName(String) is undefined for the type Element
the red color shows what's wrong.

help me please!

The method getFirstChild() is undefined for the type Element

Have you looked at the API doc for the class (Element) you are using to see what the problem is?
Did you spell it correctly?
Are you giving it the correct arguments?

I have checked the spelling and everything and it's correct. It shouldn't be a problem cause I got the code en example somewhere. What do you mean with the API doc?
