</description>

the code that i am using for this is

    StringBuffer descriptionAccumulator = new StringBuffer();

else if (property.getNodeName().equals("description")){
                    try{
                        String desc = (property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
                        if(property.getNodeName().equals("p")){
                            descriptionAccumulator.append(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
                        }
                    }
                    catch(Exception e){
                        Log.i(tag, "No desc");
                    }
else if (property.getNodeName().equals("ens1:org")){
                try{

                        event.setOrganization(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
                        Log.i(tag,"org"+(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()));
                    }
                    catch(Exception e){

                    }
else if (property.getNodeName().equals("area")||property.getNodeName().equals("fflag") || property.getNodeName().equals("tflag") || property.getNodeName().equals("guid")){
                    try{
                        //event.setOrganization(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
                        Log.i(tag,"org"+(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()));
                    }
                    catch(Exception e){

                    }
else if(property.getNodeName().equals("p") || property.getNodeName().equals("em") || property.getNodeName().equals("br") || property.getNodeName().startsWith("em") || property.getNodeName().startsWith("span") || property.getNodeName().startsWith("a") || property.getNodeName().startsWith("div")  || property.getNodeName().equals("div")  || property.getNodeName().startsWith("p")){
                    descriptionAccumulator.append(property.getFirstChild().getN开发者_如何转开发odeValue());
                    descriptionAccumulator.append(".");
                    System.out.println("description added:"+descriptionAccumulator);
                    Log.i("Description",descriptionAccumulator+property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());


                }

I tried capturing the value of <description> tag but that dint work out, so I tried using all the usual html formatting tags that are used but still no way out. using any other parser is not an option. could some body please help me out with this. thanks

I believe smth is wrong with the rss xml. For instance check what xml is returned by StackOverflow rss feed. Specifically pay attention how <summary type="html"> node content looks like - it has no child xml nodes inside, only pure xml-escaped text. So if it is acceptable in your case - spend efforts on a proper rss xml generation rather than on fixing the consequences.

You are parsing this as xml, so the description tag doesn't have a string value, it has multiple children. You might try getting getting the description node and pretty printing it's children. See LSSerializer for printing to XML.
