Element

public Element()

Method Detail

init

public void init()

called when all properties are set, but before children are parsed. Please do not use setParent for initialization code any longer.

clear

public void clear()

removes all children and attributes

createElement

public Element createElement(String namespace,
                             String name)

Forwards creation request to parent if any, otherwise calls super.createElement.

Overrides:

createElement in class Node

getAttributeCount

public int getAttributeCount()

Returns the number of attributes of this element.

getAttributeNamespace

public String getAttributeNamespace(int index)

getAttributeName

public String getAttributeName(int index)

getAttributeValue

public String getAttributeValue(int index)

getAttributeValue

public String getAttributeValue(String namespace,
                                String name)

getRoot

public Node getRoot()

Returns the root node, determined by ascending to the all parents un of the root element.

getName

public String getName()

returns the (local) name of the element

getNamespace

public String getNamespace()

returns the namespace of the element

getNamespaceUri

public String getNamespaceUri(String prefix)

returns the namespace for the given prefix

getNamespaceCount

public int getNamespaceCount()

returns the number of declared namespaces, NOT including parent elements

getNamespacePrefix

public String getNamespacePrefix(int i)

getNamespaceUri

public String getNamespaceUri(int i)

getParent

public Node getParent()

Returns the parent node of this element

parse

public void parse(XmlPullParser parser)
           throws IOException,
                  XmlPullParserException

Builds the child elements from the given Parser. By overwriting parse, an element can take complete control over parsing its subtree.

Overrides:

parse in class Node

Throws:

IOException

XmlPullParserException

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String namespace,
                         String name,
                         String value)

Sets the given attribute; a value of null removes the attribute
