Parsing XML of the type xlink in android

Question

I have parsed XML many times but didn't come through this type of XML to parse.

I have parsed many time XML of the type :

<a>
    <a1>abc</a1>
    <a2>abc</a2>
    <a3>abc</a3>
    <a4>abc</a4>
</a>

But I don't have any knowledge about parsing xml of the below type :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <orders>
        <order id="1" xlink:href="http://192.168.1.9/prestashop/api/orders/1"/>
        <order id="2" xlink:href="http://192.168.1.9/prestashop/api/orders/2"/>
    </orders>
</prestashop>

Question : How would I get the URL mention in side the order element..?

Answer 1

I have search things and have got the way to parse the XMl that i have stated above using XMLPullParser.

I have posted the solution here hoping it may help someone like me.

XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

xpp.setInput(new StringReader (RESPONSE_STRNG_HERE));
int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) 
{
    if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT) 
    {
        System.out.println("Start document");
    } 
    else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) 
    {
        System.out.println("End document");
    } 
    else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) 
    {
        System.out.println("Start tag "+xpp.getName());
        Log.e("Count ",""+xpp.getAttributeCount());
        for(int ia=0;ia<xpp.getAttributeCount();ia++)
        {
            Log.e("Attribute Name ",xpp.getAttributeName(ia));
            Log.e("Attribute Value ",xpp.getAttributeValue(ia));
        }
    } 
    else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG) 
    {
        System.out.println("End tag "+xpp.getName());
    } 
    else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT) 
    {
        Log.e("Text ",xpp.getText());
    }
    eventType = xpp.next();
}

you are using SaxParser you have to subclass DefaultHandler and, inside

    @Override
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
                    Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
            if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("order")) {
                   String href = attributes.getValue("xlink:href");
            } 

    }
