I have a problem with parsing xml by an android, a document that is parsed well with Java EE, do not want parsed into an android. Using SAX. Maybe someone encountered this problem.
i had real truble with this too...
For getting xml document to string, i'm using this library:

fo creating document i use dom parser:

I need to know what is the best way to parsing XML file in android, I know there is 3 parser (XMLPullParser, Dom Parser and Sax parser) so whats the different between it and if there any code to do that.
Sax Parser : Simple API of XML Parse node to node, using top-down traversing, parse without storing xml, Faster compared to Dom Manipulating of node like insertion or deletion is allowed. Needs SAXParserFactory
Dom Parser : Document Object Model Stores entire xml in memory before processing, traverse in any direction, Manipulating of node like insertion or deletion is NOT allowed. Needs DocumentBuilderFactory
Pull Parser: It provides more control and speed from the above two.
Android training recommends XMLPullParser.

We recommend XmlPullParser, which is an efficient and maintainable way to parse XML on Android.
They also give some code examples.
I am trying to convert data from database to XML in android. After that i am planning to post xml data to server using HttpPost?. But i am not sure how to convert string to xml in android.
I am looking for any sample code and methods.
Thanks in advance
Use the DOM from java library.
Refer:
http://developer.android.com/reference/javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilder.html#parse(java.lang.String)

I'm building an RSS reader APP, and I've been told to use the XMLPullParser interface.
Here is the block of code I'm working with:
XmlResourceParser parser = context.getResources().getXml(resource);
'Resource' is a an integer with the R.id. integer of the Xml file. This is not an internal XML file, so I don't know how to work around this.
Any ideas? Is the XmlResourceParser the wrong approach for this project? I've seen XMLReaders used with content handlers as well. Can you integrate these technologies together?
Thank you
what is the type of your xml source?
xmlPullParser can be used to parse any xml sources.
It is in my opinion the way to do this. Only problem you may encounter is when the rss feed has empty lines. The xml pullparser of android (api-level 14) jumps to the /channel if this is the case. When implementing the parser try to use the AsyncTask to start the reading of the rss feed.
Success with the implementation.
touchxml parser in iphone is very quick , is there any such equal parser in android , or a trick to have such quick parsing ?
TouchXMLlequivalent in Android, there is none as far as i know.
You can use SAXParser for paesing XML Files.
This Link might be of some help to you.
In android app, i want to send a php requeset, and am expecting a response in the form of xml, from the server.
Can anybody provide pointers in this case.
You can use XmlPullParser bundled with android to parse the response. To get the parser instance use this snippet:
XmlPullParser pullParser = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance().newPullParser();
pullParser.setInput(...); //Set input source with response you parsing.
There are 3 methods for parsing XMl in android. See working with xml in android.
You may want to try out my XmlParsing library.

Let me know if you have any problems with it.
Xstream is your friend http://x-stream.github.io/
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
