Question

Welcome all

It is possible to use SimpleXML for android in commercial apps? THis is the website: http://simple.sourceforge.net/

I’m checking the documentation but my english skills are not too munch good. I didn’t understand what i should do to use SimpleXML in commercial apps

I must put a textview with “This app has used SimpleXML” in some part of the app? it is possible to avoid it? It is a commercial app for a client, i need to avoid putting these kind of text on the app. I can put “This app has used SimpleXML” in my developer website on the info of this app, but not on the app, it is safe and legal to do it this way?

Wich restrictions i must complain to use this library into a commercial app?

thanks

I have just read through the details of the license of SimpleXML and can confirm that, yes, you can use the library in a commercial application.

You do not need to include a message in the application indicating that you are using that library – but there are a few things you need to do to comply with the license:

1. If you include the source code in your project, then you need to keep all comments in that source code, including the one pertaining to the license

2. If you give your client some sort of a document with the completed app describing the app, then that document needs to contain a note indicating that you are using SimpleXML. If you do not provide your client with such a document, then you need to include a comment in your source code stating that you’re using this library and include the link/attribution.

Other than that, you can use it as will.
