Question

I have a XML file that I need to parse in the Android SDK.

How can I read the XML file path from resources?

The XML contains:

<Book>
<Chapter>
<NO>   1   </NO>
<Text>  My Lord </Text>
</Chapter> 

<Chapter>
<NO>   1   </NO>
<Text>  My Lord </Text>
</Chapter>
</Book>

Answer 1

Put it under your_project_root\res\xml\ folder. Then you can open it with:

Resources res = activity.getResources();
XmlResourceParser xrp = res.getXml(R.xml.your_resId);

There is an example on how to use XmlResourceParser here:
