I'm not a java programmer, but I would guess it's like most other languages I've used, look at the spec and see what it returns for getNodeValue();
if (chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()) {
should be similar to this... (I use Perl here to declare a value with "my", but it shouldn't make any difference):
if (my $value = chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()) {
print "value is: $value";
} else {
print "value is undefined :(";
}
if $value is not defined, it would not go into the block.
However, it's up to you, but you shouldn't have to assign it to a variable just to check if the function returns a value, thus if (test) should work:
if (chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()) {
System.out.println("value exists:"+chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
} else {
System.out.println("value does not exist.");
}

probably just need to check if it has a value before you do something with it:
if (chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()) {
//do a print
System.out.println("NodeType 1" +chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
applicationArrayList.add(chhh.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
}
