Re: [DUG] Strange Error in Android

Could you post the first line of the XML so we can see what it comprises of ?  i.e. what XML declaration does the string contain which the parser is rejecting ?

As a result of the DOM Vendor implementation model in Delphi, behaviour on Windows is no indication of reliability on Android, iOS or OS X (as you are finding).

For Android it seems that the key to your problem is in XML.Internal.AdomCore_4_3.pas, specifically the EvaluateXmlOrTextDecl() method of TXmlInputSource but without knowing what declaration is being presented to this method it's impossible to say whether the problem lies here, in the process of assigning the string from the HTTP response to the XML document or with the content of the XML string itself.

There is potential for many slips twixt this particular cup and lip.

Hi Jeremy

Never done any Delphi Android work but is it possible it is a character set issue?  I am only using XE2 nut if I look at XMLDoc.LoadFromXML() (I don't have a LoadXMLData) it takes an AnsiString on at UTF16 delphi string.

Thanks
Rob

Hi All.

I am Sending an HTTP request to a server that is returning some XML in an Android app.

However, I get an unexpected result. I am using Indy and the idHTTP.get() function which returns either a string or populates a stream.

I started out first by loading the results into a string variable, i.e.  buffer:=isHTTP.get()  which returns the data fine, BUT if I call LoadXMLData(buffer)  - (LoadXmlData() is in Xml.XMLDoc.pas) which is a function I have used a number of time in Delphi in normal Windows apps and never had a problem – that wasn’t something I did J

However, if in the android app, I load the buffer variable into a string list then save that to file the  call LoadXMLDocument() that takes a file name, it works fine !!

Oh, the error I get is   “ET_INVALID_XML_DECL line:-1” which indicates the XML is invalid but if I do a showmessage(buffer) its perfectly fine.

I have tried loading the result into a stream and the reading it out into a string and I get the same error. I have tried removing the #13#10’s and STILL I get the error. If I write the XML to file first, no problem.

I have tried using String and DOMStrings, but still the same error

 

Anyone got any ideas? I shouldn’t have to write the xml to file then load it, that’s a bit of a pain.

 

 

Thanks, Jeremy
