Re: [android-developers] Re: parsing a *string* of XML with SAX.

Thanks Mark, I've just given that a try. I still don't get any calls to my startElement method, but there is a new warning which may be a clue:

12-19 17:14:24.241: INFO/NWXML(1852): Trying to parse: *snip*

12-19 17:14:24.241: WARN/ExpatReader(1852): DTD handlers aren't supported.

DTD handlers aren't supported. Know what this means?

I don't use XMLReader and I have no problems with SAX on Android, such
as this one parsing a XML payload from a REST request:

BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
SAXParserFactory f=SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser p=f.newSAXParser();
SearchParser parser=new SearchParser(null);
p.parse(new InputSource(in), parser);

(where SearchParser is a DefaultHandler subclass)

In your case, this would look like:

SAXParserFactory f=SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser p=f.newSAXParser();

StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlMessage);
InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);

p.parse(is, this);

Try something like that and see if it helps.
