android gettext返回类型,android - XmlResourceParser.getText() returning null - Stack Overflow

I have an XmlResourceParser instance called xml. When I try to call getText() on a node, as seen in my code, it returns null. This is strange because I can call getName() on the same node it returns the proper value, so the instance is set up properly. Here is my code:

XmlResourceParser xml = context.getResources().getXml(R.xml.thesaurus);

try {

//if (xml.getName().equals("word")) {

xml.next(); //to the first node within

boolean notFound = true;

while (notFound) {

xml.next();

if (xml.getName() != null && xml.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("synonyms")) {

String synonym = xml.getText();

Log.v(TAG, String.valueOf(synonym));

notFound = false; //found

}

}

}

} catch (XmlPullParserException xppe) {

xppe.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException ioe) {

ioe.printStackTrace();

}

Here is my XML, even though there isn't anything wrong with it:

allow

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
