XML is very fussy about character encoding. If your supposedly XML doc has malformed characters (for example, if some UTF-8 got dropped into what you think was ASCII, or ISO-8859 into UTF-8), well, it's not XML, sorry, and the software won't let you do that. This is controversial (many people have historically thought it's OK to ignore internationalization problems) but it's the way it is, you're stuck with it. There are other parsers like TagSoup and one in xmllib2 that will let you bypass breakage and go on working, but they're pretty big chunks of code. -Tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
