Android XML Schema Validation

Question

I am trying to validate the XML using a local schema file (xsd) in an application that will be run on android. I followed the instructions on the android developer docs here.

I am able to validate my xml file in java but it raises an IllegalArgument exception (code mentioned below) when run on android.

SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);

Please advice on how to proceed with XML schema validation on android. Are there any schema validation libraries that work on android ? Thanks in advance.

The API is here in Android, but not the implementation (more). So the only way is to add the functionality by some external jar, Crimson or Xerces. Not a great problem. Have you looked here?
