B4A Library B4A / B4J - XmlBuilder

My app needs to output its data in xml files.
Someone pointed me to XmlBuilder.
I have the java-xmlbuilder-0.4.jar file but need its xml to use in the b4a library. Catch 22 lol

Does anyone use it? can you post the needed files?

A wrapper is attached.

Example:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim x As XMLBuilder
   x = x.create("Projects")
   x = x.element("java-xmlbuilder") _
        .attribute("language", "Java") _
        .attribute("scm", "SVN") _
        .element("Location") _
        .up() _
    .up() _
    .element("JetS3t")
   Dim props As Map
   props.Initialize
   props.Put("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4")
   props.Put("indent", "yes")
   Log(x.asString2(props))
End Sub

This is a B4A + B4J library.

This looks interesting - exactly what i'll be needing to create some KML files in the near future.

Thanks.

Martin.

@Erel:

How can I save file formatted XML? Thank you for your help in advance.

 

[Erel]

You can use File.WriteString to save the string returned from XMLBuilder.

Erel - Love this program was a great purchase
Ok, In vb I used xml files for small database in a few programs

Where I could add or remove attributes and add the data I needed to the xml

Will this let me do that?

 

[Erel]

This library allows you to build XML files. You cannot directly modify an existing XML string.

I don't see any reason to use XML instead of a real SQLite database (unless you need to send it as XML). It will be easier and quicker to use SQLite db.

is there a way to construct an XMLBuilder from an inputstream ?

anyone know if there is a way to build xmlBuilder from a string / file / input stream ?

I want to create an xmlBuilder from file, so I can add to it easily

thanks

Hi,
This may overlap the previous question, but is there any example of using the XML builder by loading an existing string taken from a file saved as per #5. I've got the output side working perfectly (and first time!), and I'd like to use a similar approach in reverse.

Thanks
Andrew

 

[Erel]

You will need to parse the string with an XML parser and then rebuild it.

Where does the xml file has been saved?

 

[Erel]

An XML string is generated when you call asString. You can save this string with File.WriteString.

how to generate code like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SERVICOS xmlns="SERVICO.COM.BR">
    <SERVICO>
        <ID>1</ID>
        <COD_APARELHO>6039111111</COD_APARELHO>
        <NUMERO_APARELHO>99999955555</NUMERO_APARELHO>
        <SERVICO>FEITO REVIS�O PREVIA E LIMPEZA DO XXX E YYYY, REVISEI TAMBEM O ??????,</SERVICO>            
        <CODIGO_USUARIO>1</CODIGO_USUARIO>
        <DATA_HORA>09/12/2014 09:52:00</DATA_HORA>
    </SERVICO>
</SERVICOS>

??

i dont understand how to put a value inside the element
like this
<ID>1</ID>

i m using

       Dim x As XMLBuilder
   x = x.create("SERVICOS").attribute("xmlns", "SERVICO.COM.BR")
 
   x = x.element("SERVICO") _
        .element("ID") _
        .up() _
    .up() _
  
   Dim props As Map
   props.Initialize
   props.Put("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4")
   props.Put("indent", "yes")
 
   Log(x.asString2(props))

but is not correct, and with atribute dont work too
<ID id="1"/>
i need <ID>1</ID>

how to make this?

 

[Erel]

Use .element("ID").text("1").up.up

 

[Douglas Farias]

yes i made this thx

       Dim x As XMLBuilder
   x = x.create("SERVICOS").attribute("xmlns", "SERVICO.COM.BR")
  
   x = x.element("SERVICO_") _
        .element("ID") _
        .text("1") _
        .up() _
        .element("COD_APARELHO") _
        .text("110202120") _
        .up() _
        .element("NUMERO_APARELHO") _
        .text("110202120") _
        .up() _
        .element("DESC_SERVICO") _
        .text("110202120") _
        .up() _
        .element("CODIGO_USUARIO") _
        .text("110202120") _
        .up() _
        .element("DATA_HORA") _
        .text("110202120") _
        .up() _
    .up() _
   
   Dim props As Map
   props.Initialize
   props.Put("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4")
   props.Put("indent", "yes")
  
   File.WriteString(fp, "1.xml", x.asString2(props))
   If File.Exists(fp,"1.xml" ) Then  Log("existe")
   File.Copy(fp, "1.xml", File.DirRootExternal, "1.xml")

I'm using this library to output an XML file by using SQL lite database data.
This is the output I need but I have problems to add the <item> nodes under the <inspdata> node.
Someone can give me an example of code ? Thanks

<ispezione>
<data>2014-11-13</data>
<cliente>Aspiag xyz</cliente>

You should never post in old threads. Start a new thread instead.
