Why getNodeValue() method does not give the string after (&)

843834

Please help me! Below is the XML file's content:

<root>
<test>Algebraic&amp; Statistical calculator</test> </root>

When I want to get the value of by following quotes:
String value = "";
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
for(int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++ ) {
Node ci = children.item(i);
if( ci.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE ) {
value = value + ci.getNodeValue();
}
}

it gives me only Algebraic(Rest part after & gets truncated)can't I get the entiretext inside it?

I think that the problem is:
Algebraic& Statical calculator -> isn't only TEXT_NODE

In fact, there are three TEXT_NODE:

1.-Algebraic
2.-&
3.-Statical calculator

You can not use an & sign in an element,its a predifined entity for XML .
if u must use & then u need to write its entity represntation for xml which is
&
