  1. POCan't read XML with correct encoding in Android
    text
    copied!<p>I have the following Java code that is supposed to get a XML in Android's <code>res/xml</code> folder and parse it.</p> <p>However, the <code>InputStream</code> is probably coming with an incorrect encoding, because it doesn't matter what I do, I won't get the correct text. An <code>org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Unexpected token</code> exception is thrown in line <code>parser.nextTag();</code> (<a href="http://pastebin.com/wRT46ZUP" rel="nofollow">more details here</a>). I already tried removing BOM (Byte Order Mark) and changing encoding. There is absolutely no invalid character in my XML file. Running this file in a Java project, instead of an Android project, works perfectly.</p> <p>I checked other question, but most of them seem to do the same thing that I do.</p> <p>My question: What is happening that prevents me from correctly reading the XML file?</p> <pre><code>//... InputStream is = getInstrumentation().getContext().getResources().openRawResource(com.example.test.R.xml.teste); //... public List&lt;Field&gt; parseDocument(InputStream in) { try { XmlPullParser parser = Xml.newPullParser(); parser.setFeature(XmlPullParser.FEATURE_PROCESS_NAMESPACES, false); parser.setInput(in, "utf-8"); parser.nextTag(); // "org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Unexpected token" is thrown here. return readFeed(parser); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return fields; } </code></pre> <p>This is an example of XML that doesn't work: <a href="http://pastebin.com/i9vRpDW5" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/i9vRpDW5</a> . When reading the file, I made sure I removed the BOM.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Just to see how the XML is being read. I wrote the following method. I get a crazy text, regardless of the encoding I use.</p> <pre><code>public String readFile(InputStream is) throws IOException { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); String line = ""; StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(); while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { result.append(line); } return result.toString(); } </code></pre>
