Question

I have hardcoded data in my Android application. This will be in tree format. like this

<makes>
<make>
<name>abc</name>
<id>1</id>
</make>
... 10 more entries.
</makes>

Since this data will be hard coded, in my application, what can i use to easily parse in in my application. I can simply load it from my assets directory, and use xml parsing, but is there any inbuilt ways to use it. I know i can make a String array from xml resource, but how can i use this structure.

Answer 1

You could easily store that table as an SQLite database. This link might be helpful, particularly step 6.
