I am trying to parse a rather large XML file - 1 MB +, but I am having some difficulties. At first I tried to add the xml file to res / xml and parse it using XmlResourceParser, but I got an exception: "Data exceeds UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX". After a little research, I found out that compressed files must be uncompressed in memory before reading, and that this restriction does not apply to raw files. However, when I try to parse the XML file from the res / raw folder using SAXParser, I get an IOException without any messages and stacktrace:
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
InputSource src = new InputSource(stream);
xr.parse(src); // IOException
As far as I understand, these memory limits do not apply to source resources, but what causes this exception?
Here is the stacktrace from logcat:
