Title Body

I'm making an android application that does DOM parsing on an xml file. I have an xml file that looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <family> <grandparent> <parent1> <child1>Foo</child1> <child2>Bar</child2> </parent1> <parent2> <child1>Raz</child1> <child2>Mataz</child2> </parent2> </grandparent> </family> If I run a dom parser on it, like this: try { DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = builder.parse(input); doc.getDocumentElement().normalize(); //added in since the edit NodeList nodd = doc.getElementsByTagName("grandparent"); for (int x = 0; x < nodd.getLength(); x++){ Node node = nodd.item(x); NodeList nodes = node.getChildNodes(); for(int y = 0; y < nodes.getLength(); y++){ Node n = nodes.item(y); System.out.println(n.getNodeName()); } } } My application prints out the following 07-20 18:24:28.395: INFO/System.out(491): #text 07-20 18:24:28.395: INFO/System.out(491): parent1 07-20 18:24:28.395: INFO/System.out(491): #text 07-20 18:24:28.395: INFO/System.out(491): parent2 07-20 18:24:28.395: INFO/System.out(491): #text My question is, what are those #text fields and more importantly, how do I get rid of them? Edit: So now that I know what they are, I tried to normalize it. I have updated the code to reflect the changes, but same result.
