Question

i have 8 xml files and i am able to parse a single file using sax but is there a way to parse all files. all 8 files have similar elements and i have to get the topic of each file in a list view, like list view containing 8 topics. how to do this, how to call each file dynamically from assets folder. Help me with some ideas, am stuck with this friends. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

create a instance Collection which carry the aggregated parseing result
create method to process a single xml file that returns a collection
create a method that loops for files by calling the function and adding the result to the collection

/**
     * this will process file by file
     * 
     * @param xmlFilePath
     * @return
     */
    private Collection<String> parseSingleFile(String xmlFilePath) {
        // process xml file and extract the result into a collection
        return new ArrayList<String>();
    }

    /**
     * this will take all of your files
     * 
     * @param files
     * @return
     */
    public Collection<String> processBulkFiles(String[] files) {
        Collection<String> parsedresults = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (String xmlFilePath : files) {
            parsedresults.addAll(parseSingleFile(xmlFilePath));
        }
        return parsedresults;
    }
