I’m parsing XML from URL. What changes has been made to parse same XML file from raw folder. Have any idea to how to reduce code ?
This my xml file :umesh.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appdata>
<brand name="Lovely Products">
<product>Hat</product>
<product>Gloves</product>
</brand>
<brand name="Great Things">
<product>Table</product>
<product>Chair</product>
<product>Bed</product>
</brand>
</appdata>
Below is my java file :
