Parsing local XML file using Sax in Android

Question

Can anyone tell me how to parse a local XML file stored in the system using SAX, with an example code? Please also tell me where can I find information on that.

Answer 1

sample code

1. Create documentBuilderFactory

   DocumentBuilderFactory factory= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

   1. Create DocumentBuilder

   DocumentBuilder builder=factory. newDocumentBuilder();

   1. get input stream ClassLoader cls=DomReader.class.getClassLoader(); InputStream is=cls.getResourceAsStream("xml file");
      1. parse xml file and get Document object by calling parse method on DocumentBuilder object. Document document=builder.parse(is);
      2. Traverse dom tree using document object. SAX: Simple xml parsing. It parses node by node Traversing is from top to bottom Low memory usage Back navigation is not possible with sax.

   //implementing required handlers public class SaxParse extends DefaultHandler{ } //new instance of saxParserFactory SAXParserFactory factory=SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); //NEW INSTANCE OF SAX PARSER SAXParser saxparser=factory.newSAXParser(); //Parsing xml document SAXParser.parse(new File(file to be parsed), new SAXXMLParserImpl());
