Auto-Trim XML Content when Loading

See more XML Examples

This example explains the "autoTrim" argument that is passed to a method such as LoadXml2. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    CkXml xml = new CkXml();

    // If autoTrim is true, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
    // For example:
    boolean autoTrim = true;
    xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
    Log.i(TAG, xml.getXml());

    // Output is:
    // (notice the SPACE chars before and after "xyz" are trimmed)

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    // <abc>
    //     <xyz>123</xyz>
    // </abc>

    // If autoTrim is false, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
    autoTrim = false;
    xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
    Log.i(TAG, xml.getXml());

    // Output is:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    // <abc>
    //     <xyz>  123   </xyz>
    // </abc>

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The EmitCompact property controls whether XML is emitted indented (pretty-printed)
    // or compact.  For example:

    // Auto-trim + emit compact:
    autoTrim = true;
    xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
    xml.put_EmitCompact(true);
    Log.i(TAG, xml.getXml());

    // Output is:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    // <abc><xyz>123</xyz></abc>

    // No Auto-trim + emit compact:
    autoTrim = false;
    xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
    xml.put_EmitCompact(true);
    Log.i(TAG, xml.getXml());

    // Output is:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    // <abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
