    <p>My code does not retrieve the entirety of element nodes that contain special characters. For example, for this node:</p> <pre><code>&lt;theaterName&gt;P&amp;G Greenbelt&lt;/theaterName&gt; </code></pre> <p>It would only retrieve "P" due to the ampersand. I need to retrieve the entire string.</p> <p>Here's my code:</p> <pre><code>public List&lt;String&gt; findTheaters() { //Clear theaters application global FilmhopperActivity.tData.clearTheaters(); ArrayList&lt;String&gt; theaters = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(); NodeList theaterNodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("theaterName"); for (int i = 0; i &lt; theaterNodes.getLength(); i++) { Node node = theaterNodes.item(i); if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) { //Found theater, add to return array Element element = (Element) node; NodeList children = element.getChildNodes(); String name = children.item(0).getNodeValue(); theaters.add(name); //Logging android.util.Log.i("MoviefoneFetcher", "Theater found: " + name); //Add theater to application global Theater t = new Theater(name); FilmhopperActivity.tData.addTheater(t); } } return theaters; } </code></pre> <p>I tried adding code to extend the name string to concatenate additional children.items, but it didn't work. I'd only get "P&amp;".</p> <pre><code>... String name = children.item(0).getNodeValue(); for (int j = 1; j &lt; children.getLength() - 1; j++) { name += children.item(j).getNodeValue(); } </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your time.</p> <hr> <p>UPDATE: Found a function called normalize() that you can call on Nodes, that combines all text child nodes so doing a children.item(0) contains the text of all the children, including ampersands!</p>

    1. COSimply put & is not allowed in XML content as thus the XML you are trying to parse is invalid.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
