*** ** * ** ***

`DOMErrorHandler` is a callback interface that the DOM
implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while
processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating
a document). A `DOMErrorHandler` object can be attached to a
`Document` using the "error-handler" on the
`DOMConfiguration` interface. If more than one error needs to
be reported during an operation, the sequence and numbers of the errors
passed to the error handler are implementation dependent.

The application that is using the DOM implementation is expected to
implement this interface.

See also the [Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407).

## Public methods

### handleError

Added in [API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract boolean handleError (DOMError error)
```

This method is called on the error handler when an error occurs.

If an exception is thrown from this method, it is considered to be
equivalent of returning `true`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `error` | `DOMError`: The error object that describes the error. This object may be reused by the DOM implementation across multiple calls to the `handleError` method. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | If the `handleError` method returns `false`, the DOM implementation should stop the current processing when possible. If the method returns `true`, the processing may continue depending on `DOMError.severity`. <br /> |
