RootElement

open class RootElement : Element
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.sax.Element
   ↳ android.sax.RootElement

The root XML element. The entry point for this API. Not safe for concurrent use.

For example, passing this XML:

<feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>
    <entry>
      <id>bob</id>
    </entry>
  </feed>
  
to this code:
static final String ATOM_NAMESPACE = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
 
  ...
 
  RootElement root = new RootElement(ATOM_NAMESPACE, "feed");
  Element entry = root.getChild(ATOM_NAMESPACE, "entry");
  entry.getChild(ATOM_NAMESPACE, "id").setEndTextElementListener(
    new EndTextElementListener() {
      public void end(String body) {
        System.out.println("Entry ID: " + body);
      }
    });
 
  XMLReader reader = ...;
  reader.setContentHandler(root.getContentHandler());
  reader.parse(...);
  
would output:
Entry ID: bob
