XML resources used by Android Resources

XML files that need to be read as resources are usually placed in the res/xml Directory, which will be compiled into binary files during packaging. XmlPullParser objects are used to access these xml files.

Resources res = activity.getResources(); XmlResourceParser xpp = res.getXml(R.xml.test); 

XmlResourceParser is an instance of XmlPullParser.

The following is the code for XmlPullParser to access the XML node.

private String getEventsFromAnXMLFile(Activity activity)     throws XmlPullParserException, IOException     {        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();        Resources res = activity.getResources();        XmlResourceParser xpp = res.getXml(R.xml.test);                xpp.next();        int eventType = xpp.getEventType();         while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT)          {             if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT)              {                sb.append("******Start document");             }              else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG)              {                sb.append("\nStart tag "+xpp.getName());             }              else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG)              {                sb.append("\nEnd tag "+xpp.getName());             }              else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT)              {                         sb.append("\nText "+xpp.getText());             }             eventType = xpp.next();         }//eof-while         sb.append("\n******End document");         return sb.toString();     }//eof-function 

The entire XML document is traversed and the node name and content are output.
