I am not aware of anyone having put a true XML database on Android. AFAIK, XML databases typically are deployed on servers, with significantly more RAM, storage, and CPU power than an Android phone will have. > Or can I install Oracle Berkeley DB XML into Android?? > > (Oracle Berkeley DB has a java edition, but it is not xml db. > And Oracle Berkeley DB XML is xml db, but it is written by C++. > can't I install Berkeley DB XML into linux on Android??) No, you can't, at least not without creating your own Android firmware. You would need a pure Java XML database, one that's very tiny and doesn't have too many nasty dependencies. So, for example, I have some experience with eXist (http://exist-db.org/), and I'd be astounded if it could work on Android, because while it is pure Java, it is designed to run on a server. The download is 32MB, and while some of that is documentation and sample code, rest assured that it is way too big to run on an Android phone. You *might* be able to get Apache Xindice going in embedded mode, but I'll bet it requires a bunch of Apache XML JARs, some of which (e.g., Xerces-J) people have tried using on Android and have reported problems. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
