Android Question XML SAX parser: indication of progress

[JdV]

Hello

Is there a way to tell how far through an XML file the XML parser has progressed?

At the moment I use "ProgressDialogShow" when the process starts and "ProgressDialogHide" when the file's closing element is read but it would be nice to be able to show a simple message like "Processed: 23kb of 100kb" in a label that gets updated periodically.

Regards

Joe

No. The progress is not tracked.

How long does it take to parse the file? Can you upload the xml?

 

[JdV]

The ones I'm experimenting with are only a few hundred lines/few hundred kb. On my Google Pixel C it takes less than a second to import.

However on the emulator and older devices it takes longer and in future I would be looking at importing much larger files.

The emulator is not relevant. Also make sure to always test performance in release mode.

The best solution is to make it fast enough.

Thanks for the advice.
