Getting values from XML in Android (API Level 3)

Question

I have a string that contains a xml structure and there are two pieces of data in separate tags that I am after.

xpath has been added since API level 8, and with me being stuck with API level 3 (old phone for you ;-)) I need a way to get the data.

Would using a regular expression commit a huge sin? ;-) The xml isn't that big...

Looking for some guidance on what to.

Many thanks!

Answer 1

It might help if you added the XML and what you were hoping to achieve with it, but you should be able to parse the XML string using DocumentBuilder, this will return a Document and with that you should be able to call getElementsByTagName()
