Protected constructors

XmlPullParserFactory()

Protected constructor to be called by factory implementations.

Public methods

boolean getFeature(String name)

Return the current value of the feature with given name.

boolean isNamespaceAware()

Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware (it simply set feature XmlPullParser.FEATURE_PROCESS_NAMESPACES to true or false).

boolean isValidating()

Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse.

static XmlPullParserFactory newInstance()

Creates a new instance of a PullParserFactory that can be used to create XML pull parsers.

static XmlPullParserFactory newInstance(String unused, Class<T> unused2)

Creates a factory that always returns instances of Android's built-in XmlPullParser and XmlSerializer implementation.

XmlPullParser newPullParser()

Creates a new instance of a XML Pull Parser using the currently configured factory features.

XmlSerializer newSerializer()

Creates a new instance of a XML Serializer.

void setFeature(String name, boolean state)

Set the features to be set when XML Pull Parser is created by this factory.

void setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness)

Specifies that the parser produced by this factory will provide support for XML namespaces.

void setValidating(boolean validating)

Specifies that the parser produced by this factory will be validating (it simply set feature XmlPullParser.FEATURE_VALIDATION to true or false).

Public methods

getFeature

Added in API level 1
public boolean getFeature (String name)

Return the current value of the feature with given name.

NOTE: factory features are not used for XML Serializer.

Parameters
name String: The name of feature to be retrieved.

Returns
boolean The value of named feature. Unknown features are always returned as false

isNamespaceAware

Added in API level 1
public boolean isNamespaceAware ()

Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware (it simply set feature XmlPullParser.FEATURE_PROCESS_NAMESPACES to true or false).

Returns
boolean true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware; false otherwise.

isValidating

Added in API level 1
public boolean isValidating ()

Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse.

Returns
boolean true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse; false otherwise.

newInstance

Added in API level 1
public static XmlPullParserFactory newInstance ()

Creates a new instance of a PullParserFactory that can be used to create XML pull parsers. The factory will always return instances of Android's built-in XmlPullParser and XmlSerializer.

Returns
XmlPullParserFactory

Throws
XmlPullParserException

newInstance

Added in API level 1
public static XmlPullParserFactory newInstance (String unused, 
                Class<T> unused2)

Creates a factory that always returns instances of Android's built-in XmlPullParser and XmlSerializer implementation. This does not support factories capable of creating arbitrary parser and serializer implementations. Both arguments to this method are unused.

Parameters
unused String

unused2 Class

Returns
XmlPullParserFactory

Throws
XmlPullParserException

newPullParser

Added in API level 1
public XmlPullParser newPullParser ()

Creates a new instance of a XML Pull Parser using the currently configured factory features.

Returns
XmlPullParser A new instance of a XML Pull Parser.

Throws
XmlPullParserException

newSerializer

Added in API level 1
public XmlSerializer newSerializer ()

Creates a new instance of a XML Serializer.

NOTE: factory features are not used for XML Serializer.

Returns
XmlSerializer A new instance of a XML Serializer.

Throws
XmlPullParserException if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration.

setFeature

Added in API level 1
public void setFeature (String name, 
                boolean state)

Set the features to be set when XML Pull Parser is created by this factory.

NOTE: factory features are not used for XML Serializer.

Parameters
name String: string with URI identifying feature

state boolean: if true feature will be set; if false will be ignored

Throws
XmlPullParserException

setNamespaceAware

Added in API level 1
public void setNamespaceAware (boolean awareness)

Specifies that the parser produced by this factory will provide support for XML namespaces. By default the value of this is set to false.

Parameters
awareness boolean: true if the parser produced by this code will provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise.

setValidating

Added in API level 1
public void setValidating (boolean validating)

Specifies that the parser produced by this factory will be validating (it simply set feature XmlPullParser.FEATURE_VALIDATION to true or false). By default the value of this is set to false.

Parameters
validating boolean: - if true the parsers created by this factory must be validating.
