How can I cast a String to a SoapObject in ksoap2?

Question

In my Android app I use ksoap2 for communication with a server. I download a certain complex sports information structure via soap request and parse it later in my program.<

Answer 1

Hope this should work fine for converting a soap XML string to a SoapObject

public SoapObject string2SoapObject(byte[] bytes)
{
    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope=new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER12);
    SoapObject soap=null;
    try {
        ByteArrayInputStream inputStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
        XmlPullParser p= Xml.newPullParser();
        p.setInput(inputStream, "UTF8");
        envelope.parse(p);
        soap=(SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return soap;
}
