XML issue on android

Android Processing

Hi everyone!

I'm reading an XML file using the following code:

XML xmlFile;
xmlFile = new XML(this, "/data/deneme.xml");
// I also tried this line and it worked, too: // xmlFile =loadXML("/data/deneme.xml");
XML [] messages = xmlFile.getChildren();
print("TIMESTAMP= " + messages[0].getChild("timestamp").getContent());

Since it is written on processing help that XMLElement is deprecated, I used XML class. And I could read my xml file successfully using this code on Standard processing mode. Whenever I tried Android mode, and run the app on I got this error:

FATAL EXCEPTION: Animation Thread
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: processing.core.XML
    at processing.android.test.game_xml_parser.game_xml_parser.setup(game_xml_parser.java:42)
    at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(Unknown Source)
    at processing.core.PGraphicsAndroid2D.requestDraw(Unknown Source)
    at processing.core.PApplet.run(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1020)

For android version I changed my code as follows:

XML xmlFile;
xmlFile = new XML(this, "/sdcard/test/deneme.xml");
XML [] messages = xmlFile.getChildren();
print("TIMESTAMP= " + messages[0].getChild("timestamp").getContent());

Any suggestions why this happened and how to solve it, how to read an XML file on android?

Thanks,

P.S: I am using Processing 2.0a3 and developing for ASUS Transformer android tablet.

I think that the Android mode doesn't use any of the core libraries. You might be stuck using the standard Android way of reading/writing XML files.

Thanks for the fast reply!

How can I use the standard Android XML file reading methods on processing? A newbie question but: Just importing the android XML libraries and that's it? :)

I found some external libraries (i.e. proXML) for reading/writing XML files on processing. Will try to use this one, too...
