OKHTTP response XMLPullParser

I am transitioning to OKHttp and i am using SAXParser in my project. How can i parse the OKHttp response to SAXParser? or how else can I parse XML using the library.
initially this was how I was doing it:
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
InputStream inputStream = response.getEntity().getContent();
SAXParserFactory factory1 = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser parser = factory1.newSAXParser();
FormHandler handler = new FormHandler();
parser.parse(inputStream, handler);
But with OKHTTP, how can i pass Response response = client.newCall(request).execute() to the XML parser?

You might try this :
// 1. get a http response
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
// 2. construct a string from the response
String xmlstring = response.body().string();
// 3. construct an InputSource from the string
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlstring));
// 4. start parsing with SAXParser and handler object
// ( both must have been created before )
parser.parse(inputSource,handler);
PS : in your question you mention XMLPullParser, in your code you're actually using a SAXParser. However, if you have the xml string on your hands, you should do fine with both ways.

MalformedURLException: Protocol not found. RSS feeds on Android

I'm using the code to parse RSS from this link IBM - Working with XML on Android...and I have little problem with the URL's. If I use this URL:
static String feedUrl = "http://clarin.feedsportal.com/c/33088/f/577681/index.rss";
It works right, but if I use this URL:
static String feedUrl = "http://www.myworkingdomain.com/api/?m=getFeed&secID=163&lat=0&lng=0&rd=0&d=1";
It gives me:
07-07 19:41:30.134: E/AndroidNews(5454): java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.MalformedURLException: Protocol not found:
I've already tried hints from other answers...but none of them help me out...
Any other solution?
Thanks for your help!

Seeing your feedUrl, I assume that you want to do an HTTP GET request with parameters. I had a lot of trouble with that too, until I started using a StringBuilder and an HttpClient.
Here's some code, without exception catching:
SAXParserFactory mySAXParserFactory = SAXParserFactory
.newInstance();
SAXParser mySAXParser = mySAXParserFactory.newSAXParser();
XMLReader myXMLReader = mySAXParser.getXMLReader();
RSSHandler myRSSHandler = new RSSHandler();
myXMLReader.setContentHandler(myRSSHandler);
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
StringBuilder uriBuilder = new StringBuilder(
"http://myworkingdomain.com/api/");
uriBuilder.append("?m=getFeed");
uriBuilder.append("&secID=163");
[...]
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(uriBuilder.toString());
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
int status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
// we assume that the response body contains the error message
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.getEntity().writeTo(ostream);
Log.e("HTTP CLIENT", ostream.toString());
}
InputStream content = response.getEntity().getContent();
// Process feed
InputSource myInputSource = new InputSource(content);
myInputSource.setEncoding("UTF-8");
myXMLReader.parse(myInputSource);
myRssFeed = myRSSHandler.getFeed();
content.close();
Hope this helps!

Android XML SAXParser handling ampersand from URL?

I am parsing XML from URL using SAXParser. The XML has some data with ampersand (&) sign. XML data is not read after the ampersand. How would I resolve this issue?
URL website = new URL(FullURL);
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
HandlingXMLStuff doingwork = new HandlingXMLStuff();
xr.setContentHandler(doingwork);
xr.parse(new InputSource(website.openStream()));
String information = doingwork.getInformation();
XML tag has data like
<choice>Cat & Dog</choice>
I am getting output as
Cat

To have a naked '&' rather than "&" you need to use a CDATA[[]] structure around the "Cat & Dog".

Android, SAX and Cookies: How to add a cookie when trying to parse XML from an URL

I want to parse the result of a specific URL using Simple Ajax for XML. This is basically my Code:
URL link = new URL(url); // url is just a string representing the url
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
xr.setContentHandler(myHandler); // the class of myHandler extends from DefaultHandler
InputStream stream = link.openStream();
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(stream);
inputSource.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
xr.parse(inputSource);
But how can I add a cookie? I know I can add Cookies to HttpClients like so:
BasicClientCookie cookie = new BasicClientCookie("access_token", accessToken);
mHttpClient.getCookieStore().addCookie(cookie);
HttpGet request = new HttpGet("www.reeple.net/xml/login/" + uid);
mHttpClient.execute(request);
But how can I add a cookie to a request, that is handlet by the SAX-Api?

Step #1: Use HttpClient to retrieve the XML as a string, using whatever cookies you want
Step #2: Use SAX to parse the string retrieved by HttpClient

Convert a String or a InputStreamReader into InputSource

I just read some tutorials in order to parse a xml feed from the web and turn them into a Listview:
URL file = new URL("http://..../file.xml");
SAXParserFactory fabrique = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser parseur = fabrique.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = parseur.getXMLReader();
ReglageParseur gestionnaire = new ReglageParseur();
xr.setContentHandler(gestionnaire);
xr.parse(new InputSource(file.openStream()));
Everything is fine and I am able to parse xml.
My second step is to store the xml file from web into a xml file on the phone and only update it when user ask it. ( In fact, this xml file should not change or maybe once every 6 month, so I don't want to download it each time.)
So, what I did is to store the file on the phone and update it on user demand.
And I can read it by doing:
fIn = openFileInput("fichier.xml");
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fIn);
char[] inputBuffer = new char[255];
isr.read(inputBuffer);
String readString = new String(inputBuffer);
So, for now, everything seem fine and I am nearly happy.
The problem is now when I want to parse the new file on the phone:
xr.parse(InputSource);
I need an InputSource as parameter.
So my question is:
How can I turn my file in the phone into a InputSource?
I succeed to have a InputStreamReader or a String but would like to convert that into InputSource.
Thank a lot for any precious help

Well, I don't know what constructors are available on the Android version, but the J2SE InputSource class has a constructor with a Reader parameter. Have you tried that?
Alternatively, why not just construct an InputSource directly from the InputStream? I assume fIn is a FileInputStream? Why not just call:
InputSource input = new InputSource(fIn);
?

the best suitable line for me to convert string to InputSource is :
String myStringObject = "Hello this is string object to convert in InputSource";
InputSource inSource = new InputSource(new StringReader(myStringObject));
