Question

Yesterday Night, i wrote this function to fetch all the tags from string containing xml data but something is not correct in this... Pls help... this function is returning java.lang.NullPointerException

  public void parseWebXML(String xd){
      int i, j, k = 0;
      String tagn, check = "";
      int spos, epos;
      byte[] len = xd.getBytes();
      tags = new String[len.length*3/4];
      int nextpos = 0;
      for(i=0;i<len.length*3/4;i++){
        spos = xd.indexOf("<", nextpos);
        epos = xd.indexOf(">", spos);
        tagn = xd.substring(spos, epos);
        if(i == 0 || i == 1 || i == 2){
            if(tagn.indexOf("/") == -1){
                tags[k] = "<"+tagn+">";
                k +=1;
            }else{
                continue;
            }
        }else{
            if(tagn.indexOf("/") == -1){
                for(j=0;j<tags.length;j++){
                    if(tags[i].equals(tags[j])){
                        check = "found";
                    }else{
                        check = "notfound";
                    }
                }
                if(check.equals("notfound")){
                    tags[i] = "<"+tagn+">";
                    k+=1;
                }else{
                    continue;
                }
            }else{
                continue;
            }
        }
        nextpos = epos + 1;
      }
  }

Answer 1

tags[] has only 3 items.

if(i == 0 || i == 1 || i == 2){
            if(tagn.indexOf("/") == -1){
                tags[k] = "<"+tagn+">";
                k +=1;

if i > 3 than tags[i] return null. And tags[i].equals throw NPE

Answer 2

您初始化了tag []，但未初始化其每个单元，因此tags[i].equals(tags[j])可能导致了NPE （ tags[i]为null）。
