Question

I am downloading an xml file from ftp and using the following code to store :

FileOutputStream stream = openFileOutput("emp.xml", MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);

cd = ftp.retrieveFile("emp.xml", stream);

I want to read this file to parse in my application later.Previously i was using this code as i ahd stored it in res/xml folder :

XmlResourceParser parser = this.getResources().getXml(R.xml.employees);

How should i replace the above code to get emp.xml file.
Thanks in advance!

Use XmlPullParser. You can use a FileReader or a FileInputStream as the input for the parser.

You can take a look at the tutorial “Parsing XML Data with XmlPullParser”.
