hi,

nextText() function "eats" text and parser is positioned alwasy on END_TAG.

here is small test case to verify it:

    public void testNextText() throws Exception {
        final String INPUT_XML =
            "<t><test1>foo</test1><test2></test2><test3/><test4>bar</test4></t>";
        XmlPullParser pp = factory.newPullParser();
        pp.setInput( new StringReader( INPUT_XML ) );
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "t");
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "test1");
        assertEquals( "foo", pp.nextText() );
        pp.require( pp.END_TAG, null, "test1");

        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "test2");
        assertEquals( "", pp.nextText() );
        pp.require( pp.END_TAG, null, "test2");

        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "test3");
        assertEquals( "", pp.nextText() );
        pp.require( pp.END_TAG, null, "test3");

        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "test4");
        //pp.next();
        //pp.require( pp.TEXT, null, null);
        assertEquals( "bar", pp.nextText() );
        pp.require( pp.END_TAG, null, "test4");

        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.END_TAG, null, "t");
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.END_DOCUMENT, null, null);

        // now check for error conditions
        pp.setInput( new StringReader( INPUT_XML ) );
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "t");
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "test1");
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.TEXT, null, null);
        try {
            pp.nextText();
            fail("if current tag is TEXT no next text content can be returned!");
        } catch(XmlPullParserException ex) {}

        pp.setInput( new StringReader( INPUT_XML ) );
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "t");
        try {
            pp.nextText();
            fail("if next tag is START_TAG no text content can be returned!");
        } catch(XmlPullParserException ex) {}

        pp.setInput( new StringReader( INPUT_XML ) );
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "t");
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.START_TAG, null, "test1");
        pp.next();
        pp.next();
        pp.require( pp.END_TAG, null, "test1");
        try {
            pp.nextText();
            fail("if current tag is END_TAG no text content can be returned!");
        } catch(XmlPullParserException ex) {}

    }

thanks,
