Android Question XML Parsing without events?

[Indy]

Hi All,

I have searched everywhere on the forums but still cannot find a way of using XMLSAX or XOM to parse an XML but not events. You maybe wondering why I want to do this, anser is simple - Reusable code. I have already used the XMLSAX events to extract values but, find the code soon gets large and messy with so many "if" statements. For this reason I decided that I need to make the code more generic so it's implmented once but, can be called many times.

I have spent quite a bit of time looking/reading many posts but cannot see any examples. Therefore I have reconciled to the fact that this is not possible. So, before I go down the route of writing my own function, I thought I'd ask the community if there's something I haven't spotted.

Thank you.

XmlSax is a Sax parser so it relies on events. XOM is a Dom parser. It raises a single event when the tree is ready.

You can implement the code in a class and reuse it. It doesn't matter whether the library raises events or not.

Ok. Would you happen to have a link of any example code I can look at? Having looked at the help on XOM it's not very apparent which method would suit my requirement.

Thanks

There is an example in the library thread: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/lib-xom.23551/#content

I'm not familiar with any other example.
