porting to Android: why am I getting “Can't create default XMLReader; is system property org.xml.sax.driver set?”?

Question

I am porting some Java code that worked fine on my desktop to Android. I have the following code segment:

import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.         


        

Answer 1

My solution was including the following code in my MainActivity:

System.setProperty("org.xml.sax.driver","org.xmlpull.v1.sax2.Driver");
