        }

    }
      @Override

        }

}

Please help me to fix the issue.

Answer 1

In sax parser, characters() method parses only maximum of 1024 characters each time. So we need to append the strings until all the characters are parsed.

I changed the above code as follows

public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
        throws SAXException
{


    Log.d("prabhu","Customer image length in parser......"+length);
    if (currentElement ) {

        tempValue = new String(ch,start, length);

        if(tempValue.equals(null))
            tempValue = "";



    }
        tempValue = tempValue+new String(ch,start, length);
 }
