Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
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 unused2)	Creates a factory that always returns instances of of KXmlParser and KXmlSerializer.
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).

Constructor Detail

XmlPullParserFactory

protected XmlPullParserFactory()

Protected constructor to be called by factory implementations.

Method Detail

setFeature

public void setFeature(String name,
                       boolean state)
                throws XmlPullParserException

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 with URI identifying feature

state - if true feature will be set; if false will be ignored

Throws:

XmlPullParserException

getFeature

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 - The name of feature to be retrieved.

Returns:

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

setNamespaceAware

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 - true if the parser produced by this code will provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise.

isNamespaceAware

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:

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

setValidating

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

isValidating

public boolean isValidating()

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

Returns:

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

newPullParser

public XmlPullParser newPullParser()
                            throws XmlPullParserException

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

Returns:

A new instance of a XML Pull Parser.

Throws:

XmlPullParserException

newSerializer

public XmlSerializer newSerializer()
                            throws XmlPullParserException

Creates a new instance of a XML Serializer.

NOTE: factory features are not used for XML Serializer.

Returns:

A new instance of a XML Serializer.

Throws:

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

newInstance

public static XmlPullParserFactory newInstance()
                                        throws XmlPullParserException

Creates a new instance of a PullParserFactory that can be used to create XML pull parsers. The factory will always return instances of KXmlParser and KXmlSerializer.

Throws:

XmlPullParserException

newInstance

public static XmlPullParserFactory newInstance(String unused,
                                               Class unused2)
                                        throws XmlPullParserException

Creates a factory that always returns instances of of KXmlParser and KXmlSerializer. This does not support factories capable of creating arbitrary parser and serializer implementations. Both arguments to this method are unused.

Throws:

XmlPullParserException
