Android SAX parser not getting full text from CDATA

Question

I'trying to read some feeds generated by wordpress website using SAX parser in Andriod app. I'm not getting full text in CDATA sections, text are splitted somewhere in the middle. I read that SAX parser sometimes splits text in chunks, but how to merge all this stuff in reader? Any help will be gracefull! Here is my RSSHandler.java and part of my xml from wordpress rss:

RSSHandler.java:

package com.example.vlada.vlada;

import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;

public class RSSHandler extends DefaultHandler {

    final int state_unknown = 0;
    final int state_title = 1;
    final int state_sadrzaj_posta = 2;
    final int state_link = 3;
    final int state_pubdate = 4;
    int currentState = state_unknown;

    RSSFeed feed;
    RSSItem item;

    boolean itemFound = false;

    RSSHandler(){
    }

    RSSFeed getFeed(){
        return feed;
    }

    @Override
    public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        feed = new RSSFeed();
        item = new RSSItem();

    }

    @Override
    public void endDocument() throws SAXException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

    @Override
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
            Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("item")){
            itemFound = true;
            item = new RSSItem();
            currentState = state_unknown;
        }
        else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("title")){
            currentState = state_title;
        }
        else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("sadrzaj_posta")){
            currentState = state_sadrzaj_posta;
        }
        else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("link")){
            currentState = state_link;
        }
        else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("pubdate")){
            currentState = state_pubdate;
        }
        else{
            currentState = state_unknown;
        }

    }

    @Override
    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
            throws SAXException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("item")){
            feed.addItem(item);
        }
    }



    @Override
    public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
            throws SAXException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String strCharacters = new String(ch,start,length);

        if (itemFound==true){
        // "item" tag found, it's item's parameter
            switch(currentState){
            case state_title:
                item.setTitle(strCharacters);
                break;
            case state_sadrzaj_posta:
                item.setSadrzaj_posta(strCharacters);
                break;
            case state_link:
                item.setLink(strCharacters);
                break;
            case state_pubdate:
                item.setPubdate(strCharacters);
                break;  
            default:
                break;
            }
        }
        else{
        // not "item" tag found, it's feed's parameter
            switch(currentState){
            case state_title:
                feed.setTitle(strCharacters);
                break;
            case state_sadrzaj_posta:
                feed.setSadrzajPosta(strCharacters);
                break;
            case state_link:
                feed.setLink(strCharacters);
                break;
            case state_pubdate:
                feed.setPubdate(strCharacters);
                break;  
            default:
                break;
            }
        }

        currentState = state_unknown;
    }


}

characters() can be called many times within an element, to build up the whole text of text nodes. Do not attempt to consume the text in characters(). Instead, append them to a StringBuilder or something, then process the results in endElement() or some similar point where you know that you have all the text.
