Android Question SaxParser and special characters

[MotoMusher]

What's the best way to handle special characters that SaxParser does not recognize?

I have the following string being returned to me, and the parser chokes on it. From what I can tell, it is valid XML. I am can't to put a catch block around the saxparser call itself as the lines I need are the ones preceeding this line, and the line after. This particular line is not a necessary part of the document from my end, but I don't have control of that.

Error I am getting is:
org.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser$ParseException: At line 18, column 43: undefined entity

Same error with &uuml;

Thanks.

Try something like this:

...

	Dim In As InputStream
	In = File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "myfile.xml")
	Dim tr As TextReader
	tr.Initialize2(In, "ISO-8859-1")
	parser.Parse2(tr, "Parser")
	In.Close

...
