createHTTPClient - Grab web content, parse, insert into another HTML page
Hey guys - I'm trying to grab the entire document from an external URL. That's a pretty simple thing to do, but I'm at a loss as to how I look through that data, grabbing everything within a specific element.
I would then like to insert that into an element in a loaded html document, within a Web View.
It was pretty simple before 1.0 (and Jquery), and I'm sure it is now, but I'm not sure where to make the adjustments.
Cheers!
Old way:
var content = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
content.onload = function() {
$("body").append("<div id='store'></div>");
$("#store").html(this.responseText);
};
content.open('GET', 'http://www.website.com');
content.send();
New Way:
xhr.open("GET","http://www.website.com");
xhr.onload = function(){
var doc = this.responseText;
// Now what? :-)
};
xhr.send();

Try replacing your //now What? with the following:
var statusCode = xhr.status; //check the response code returned if(statusCode == 200) { var doc = this.responseText; Titanium.API.log("info","Response: "+doc); var result = doc.documentElement.getElementsById("store").text(); Ti.API.info('Store: '+result); }Hopefully that should work. I think your solution should lie in documentElement.getElementsById("store") or similar. This is how I parse XML:
if(statusCode == 200) { Ti.API.info('>>> got the contacts xml! ... '); var xml = GETRequest.responseXML; Titanium.API.log("info","Response: "+xml); var result = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("result"); var itemList = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("user"); Ti.API.info('got item list'); var cdata = []; //var id_text = $(this).attr('id'); var fbid_text = itemList.item(0).getElementsByTagName("fb_ID").item(0).text; var gid_text = itemList.item(0).getElementsByTagName("g_ID").item(0).text; }Good luck!
