Android Question Read xml string directly to table

[GeoffT660]

Looking for direction on how to read xml received to a string from job.GetString into the sax xml parser and then write the output to a table as easily as possible. Currently I have this code to parse the xml but it throws an error
Parser.Parse2(s, \
javac 1.7.0_71
src\b4a\BizNow\getdata.java:413: error: inconvertible types
mostCurrent._parser.Parse2((java.io.Reader)(_s),"Parser");

Dim s As String
s=Job.GetString
Log(s)
Parser.Parse2(s, "Parser")

You need to convert the string to an inputstream:

Dim bytes() As Byte = s.GetBytes("utf8")
Dim in As InputStream
in.InitializeFromBytesArray(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
Parser.Parse(in, "parser")

This is all being done in the JobDone Sub
Would I still have s as:
Dim s As String
s=job.GetString

I currently have:
If job.Success = True Then
Dim s As String
s=job.GetString
Dim bytes() AsByte = s.GetBytes("utf8")
Dim InAsInputStream
In.InitializeFromBytesArray(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
Parser.Parse(In, "Parser")

But then I get this error:
JobName = Job1, Success = true
java.lang.NullPointerException

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

Have you initialized Parser?

Thanks Erel, I had it in the wrong place.
