copied!<p>I'm trying to inderstand what I'm doing wrong here, but it realy doesn't make sense to me. I have a class calleld LatLongBean Here I'm trying to parse an XML feed.</p> <p>I have a method where I do all the logic. and I have some getters and setters.</p> <p>It seems like the setter is working, but the getters are not working.</p> <p>This is the LatLongBean:</p> <pre><code>public class LatLongBean { private String lat; private String lng; private String address; private String url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address="; public void LatLongBean(String address, String lat, String lng) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException { this.address = address; this.lat = lat; this.lng = lng; DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = dBuilder.parse(new URL(url + address + "&sensor=false").openStream()); doc.getDocumentElement().normalize(); NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("location"); for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) { Node node = nodes.item(i); if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) { Element element = (Element) node; lat = getValue("lat", element); lng = getValue("lng", element); } } } private static String getValue(String tag, Element element) { NodeList nodes = element.getElementsByTagName(tag).item(0).getChildNodes(); Node node = (Node) nodes.item(0); return node.getNodeValue(); } public String getLat() { System.out.println(lat); return lat; } public String getLng() { System.out.println(lng); return lng; } public void setAddress(String address) { this.address = address; } } </code></pre> <p>and this is what I do to use this class:</p> <pre><code>LatLongBean latLong1 = new LatLongBean(); latLong1.setAddress("Amsterdam"); latLong1.getLat(); latLong1.getLng(); </code></pre> <p>The getters are returning null!</p> <p>When I make the LatLongBean method not void and use is as a constructor it works like a charm:</p> <pre><code>LatLongBean latLong1 = new LatLongBean("Amsterdam"); latLong1.getLat(); latLong1.getLng(); </code></pre> <p>Could someone please help me?</p> <p>Thanx in advance!</p>
