I am trying to send an xml file as a httpresponse to a post from an android application.
I understood how to send data from a php page here.
Is it possible to send a xml file as a response?
Or do I have to send the content of xml file as a string and parse it in the application?
If it is possible, How do I read the file in my application, so that I can parse it for information?
Thank you.
Send the xml from the server as a string. And in the application side parse the string either using SaxParser, XmlPullParser or DomParser. These are all commonly used.
This is a tutorial from IBM which gives an overview of parsing in android
