Question

I’m appending to a serializer in a loop, however having problems placing a root element.

Using this code:

serializer = serializer.startTag(null, StaticClass.ROOT);

for (int i = 0; i < categoriesCursor.getCount(); i++) {
    appendToCategoriesXml(serializer, id, name, kind, uses);
    categoriesCursor.moveToNext();
}   

I don’t understand why the root being put automatically right after first list element, which looks like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
  <root>
    <category id="1">
      <name>fun</name>
      <kind>exp</kind>
      <uses>0</uses>
    </category>
  </root>
    <category id="2">
      <name>food</name>
      <kind>exp</kind>
      <uses>15</uses>
    </category>

What am I doing wrong?

I just discovered the problem… it was stupid. I did EndDocument at every iteration, so it ended root right after first one…
