How to get the distance and duration from Google Directions API

Question

I was able to fix that by adding another method in XMLParser class:

public String getSecondValue(Element item, String str) {      
    NodeList n = item.getElementsByTagName(str);        
    return this.getElementValue(n.item(1));
}

and here is the usage in the activity:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

import maps.XMLParser;

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class DirectionsActivity extends ListActivity {

    String url = "";
    XMLParser parser;
    String xml = "";
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> menuItems;

    // All static variables
    static final String KEY_STEP = "step"; // parent node
    static final String KEY_HTML_INSTRUCTIONS = "html_instructions";
    static final String KEY_DURATION = "duration";
    static final String KEY_DISTANCE = "distance";
    static final String KEY_TEXT = "text";



    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Intent intent = this.getIntent();

        url = intent.getExtras().getString("url");
        System.out.println("---------------" + url);

        menuItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

        parser = new XMLParser();

        DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();

        // Start downloading XML data from Google Directions API
        downloadTask.execute(url);

        // selecting single ListView item
        ListView lv = getListView();        

        // listening to single listitem click
        lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

           @Override
           public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                   int position, long id) {
               // getting values from selected ListItem
               String instruction = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.instruction)).getText().toString();

               // Starting new intent
               Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SingleMenuItemActivity.class);
               in.putExtra(KEY_HTML_INSTRUCTIONS, instruction);

               startActivity(in);

           }
       });
    }

    /** A class to download data from Google Directions URL */
    private class DownloadTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

        ListAdapter adapter;
        private ProgressDialog pd;

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
                 pd = new ProgressDialog(DirectionsActivity.this);
                 pd.setTitle("Processing...");
                 pd.setMessage("Calcolo direzione in corso dalla posizione corrente...");
                 pd.setCancelable(false);
                 pd.setIndeterminate(true);
                 pd.show();
        }

        // Downloading data in non-ui thread
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... url) {

            // For storing data from web service
            String data = "";

            try{
                // Fetching the data from web service
                data = parser.getXmlFromUrl(url[0]);
            }catch(Exception e){
                Log.d("Background Task",e.toString());
            }
            return data;
        }

        // Executes in UI thread, after the execution of
        // doInBackground()
        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result); 

            Document doc = parser.getDomElement(result); // getting DOM element

            NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_STEP);
            // looping through all item nodes <step>
            for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
                // creating new HashMap
                HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
                Element e = (Element) nl.item(i);
                // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
                String escapedKeyHtmlInstructions = StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4(KEY_HTML_INSTRUCTIONS);
                // KEY_HTML_INSTRUCTIONS.replaceAll("\\<.*?>", "");
                map.put(KEY_HTML_INSTRUCTIONS, parser.getValue(e, escapedKeyHtmlInstructions));
                map.put(KEY_DURATION, parser.getValue(e, KEY_TEXT));
                map.put(KEY_DISTANCE, parser.getSecondValue(e, KEY_TEXT));

                // adding HashList to ArrayList
                menuItems.add(map);
            }

            // Adding menuItems to ListView
            adapter = new SimpleAdapter(DirectionsActivity.this, menuItems,R.layout.list_item,
                    new String[] { KEY_HTML_INSTRUCTIONS, KEY_DURATION, KEY_DISTANCE}, new int[] {
                            R.id.instruction, R.id.duration, R.id.distance});

            setListAdapter(adapter);

            pd.dismiss();
