POAndroid custom XML parser fails to resolve android namespace
text
Body
copied!<p>I would like to get the correct way of parsing custom android tags with an XmlResourceParser. I am using Eclipse 3.6 with the android plug-in, and I would like some attributes like the <code>name</code> be expanded with the full string from <code>strings.xml</code>.</p> <p>Here is the <code>index.xml</code> which is being parsed in the <code>res/xml/</code> folder.</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Index xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <Sheet shortName="o_2sq" android:name="@string/o_2sq" instructions="" /> </Index> </code></pre> <p>Here is the file <code>strings.xml</code> in the <code>res/values/</code> folder</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="o_2sq">Organize two squares</string> </resources> </code></pre> <p>and the code fragment that parses the first <code>index.xml</code> with an XmlResourceParser:</p> <pre><code>String name = xpp.getAttributeValue(null, "android:name"); String shortName = xpp.getAttributeValue(null, "shortName"); </code></pre> <p>The variable <code>name</code> contains <code>null</code>, but <code>shortName</code> contains <code>"o_2sq"</code>. I also tried the following without success:</p> <pre><code>String name = xpp.getAttributeValue("android", "name"); </code></pre> <p>What is the correct way of writing the sentence so that the variable name would contain <code>"Organize two squares"</code> ?</p>
