Parsing xml

Looking to receive an xml stream in an SMS message. I know how to use xerces to parse xml streams. How do I get xerces into my app activity? Or is there a smaller parser that is available in android already. I couldn't find one.

Hello gsmith53,

you want to read xml-code from out of a SMS :?:

Are 160 7-bit-'chars' enough ?

I would suggest choosing a less data-expensive format :!:

XML in an SMS stream? Hope its short.

Perhaps a better approach might be capturing the SMS, reading it (using a bar delimited string in a set format to save space), and using its contents to request a standard HTTP POST/GET type data stream from an existing server using a unique request code from the SMS message.

Just be careful on your SMS handling. If the content is not intended for your app, then it needs to be handed off to an appropriate SMS app/handler.

request a standard HTTP POST/GET type data stream from an existing server

How do you perform parsing on XML data obtained as a stream in response to a HTTP POST request. I need to parse some XML data that i get as the response from an HTTP POST.

Thanks in advance
