在Android中，我们可以使用任意的XML文件作为资源。

你可以从其生成的资源ID访问xml文件，可以通过它本地化这些资源XML文件。因此，你可以有效地在设备上编译和存储这些XML文件。

XML文件需要存储在/res/xml子目录下。

例子

以下代码显示了一个名为/res/xml/test.xml的示例XML文件。

Hello World from an xml sub element

AAPT在将此XML文件放入应用程序包之前对其进行编译。

下面的代码显示了如何使用XmlPullParser来解析这些文件。Resources res = activity.getResources();

XmlResourceParser xpp = res.getXml(R.xml.test);

/*fromwww.w3cschool.cn*/

private String getEventsFromAnXMLFile(Activity activity) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException

{

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

Resources res = activity.getResources();

XmlResourceParser xpp = res.getXml(R.xml.test);

xpp.next();

int eventType = xpp.getEventType();

while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT)

{

if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT)

{

System.out.println("Start document");

}

else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG)

{

System.out.println("Start tag "+xpp.getName());

}

else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG)

{

System.out.println("End tag "+xpp.getName());

}

else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT)

{

System.out.println("Text "+xpp.getText());

}

eventType = xpp.next();

}

return sb.toString();

}

解析xml资源

下面的代码显示了如何解析xml资源。

主Activityxml布局<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

android:id="@+id/selection"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

/>

android:id="@android:id/list"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"

/>

res/xml/words.cml
