Android XML Parsing, omitting "& amp;"

Question

The problem again is that although I have successfully implemented the SAX parser in my code ... It behaves strangely. This jus skips enteries after and goes to the next entry. I just wanted to know if this is a typical work of the SAX or m analyzer, which implements it incorrectly.

I implemented org.xml.sax.ContentHandler and provided the following encoding inside ...

`

public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
         {
             if(lastName.equals("id"))
             {
                 String id = String.copyValueOf(ch, start, length);
                 CustomList.idvector.add(id);
             }
             else if(lastName.equals("subcategory"))
             {
                String subcategory = String.copyValueOf(ch, start, length);
                 CustomList.subcategoryvector.add(subcategory);
             }
             else if(lastName.equals("photo"))
             {
                 String photo = String.copyValueOf(ch, start, length);
                 CustomList.photovector.add(photo);
             }
             else if(lastName.equals("name"))
             {
                 String name = String.copyValueOf(ch, start, length);
                 CustomList.namevector.add(name);
             }
         }

`

There are elements with tags ,,, and m that take this information into a vector ... is this correct ???

Now again the problem is that I cannot play a special character like "$" and such ... is there a way we can catch these characters?
