hello guys,

i've read through the the examples in the proxml documentation and i have y question concerning this one:

Code:

/*
This example loads an xml file and 
prints out the children of the root element
*/

import proxml.*;
import proxml.XMLElement;

XMLInOut xmlIO; 

void setup(){
  size(400,400);

  xmlIO = new XMLInOut(this);
  xmlIO.loadElement("daten.xml");
}

void xmlEvent(XMLElement element){
  proxml.XMLElement[] children = element.getChildren();

  for(int i = 0; i < children.length;i++){
    proxml.XMLElement child = children[i];
    println(child);
  }
}
void draw(){
} 

This example includes the function xmlEvent. In my own script I have several functions that all go through xmlFiles but I want to give them other names and I want to call them by the time I need them. So how do I actually call this function, because in the script above there is nothing like "xmlEvent(); to call this function.
In my case, I have a function called "SecondXml()" and it is of the same structure as the xmlEvent() function. But I can't call my function. I've tried it his way, but it does not work:

Code:

SecondXml (XMLElement element);
void SecondXml(XMLElement element) {

}
 

Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks a lot !!

okay, i tried it your way and it works - but still there's one bug.

I solved it this way:
Code:

void xmlEvent(XMLElement element){
  if (xmlCheck == false) {

    FristXML (element); 
  }
  if (xmlCheck == true) {

 SecondXML (element); 

  }
} 

and by using mousePressed I change between true and false. But: when I changed xmlCheck from false to true the function SecondXML is not called.

In your example what is currentLexer needed for?

Ok I tried to reduce the code as much as possible...
if you just copy this into Processing you might see the problem?
I use mouseClicked to toggle xmlCheck. So xmlCheck starts up with "false" so actually FirstXML should work. Don't know why it doesn't.

And when clicking the mouse Processing should flip between FirstXML and SecondXML...


Code:

 import proxml.*;
import proxml.XMLElement;

boolean xmlCheck = false;

void setup() {
}

void draw() {
}

void xmlEvent(XMLElement element){
  if (xmlCheck == true) {
    SecondXML(element);
  } 
  else {
    FirstXML(element); 
  }
} 


void FirstXML (XMLElement element) {
  println ("FirstXML running");
}

void SecondXML (XMLElement element) {
  println ("SecondXML running");
}

void mouseClicked () {
  if (xmlCheck == true) {
    xmlCheck = false;
  }
  else if (xmlCheck == false) {
    xmlCheck = true;

  } 
}
 

Ok now when executing this script you see the bug. When starting it goes straight into FirstXML. When clicking I'll print out if xmlCheck is true or false - but it does not switch between "FirstXML()" and "SecondXML()".  I don't know why but I think it's because I do not call xmlEvent (); at any time? That's the point I dont get
Code:

import proxml.*;
import proxml.XMLElement;

XMLInOut xmlInOut;
boolean xmlCheck = false;

void setup() {
  xmlInOut = new XMLInOut(this);
  try{
    xmlInOut.loadElement("data1.xml"); 
  }
  catch(Exception e){
    //if the xml file could not be loaded it has to be created
    xmlEvent(new XMLElement("data"));

  }
}

void draw() {
}

void xmlEvent(XMLElement element){
  println(xmlCheck);
  if (xmlCheck == true) {
    SecondXML(element);
  } 
  else {
    FirstXML(element); 
  }
} 


void FirstXML (XMLElement element) {
  println ("FirstXML running");
}

void SecondXML (XMLElement element) {
  println ("SecondXML running");
}

void mouseClicked () {
  if (xmlCheck == true) {
    xmlCheck = false;
  }
  else if (xmlCheck == false) {
    xmlCheck = true;

  } 
  println(xmlCheck);
}

 

thx a lot, by using loadElement() again it works perfectly well
