Re: [andmore-dev] KXML2 IP Providence

[David Carver <d_a_carver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looking into a bit further.  The layoutlib seems to only use the org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParser and org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException which are implemented by KXML v2.  The sample code in layoutlib uses it directly which we don't care about in our use case for the library in question.

The only places in ADT that KXML itself was used directly were in the Tests and the ContextPullParser class for the main plugin.

It looks like XPP3 has been approved for use by some eclipse projects in the past, so I may go that route to see if I can use that.  As long as the XmlPullFactory implementation exists, it should theoretically work with the layoutlib.

The main issue is that layoutlib requires KXML but doesn't package it (it's provided by the IDE), so if you were to remove it from ADT you wouldn't be able to render layout anymore.

Xavier, copying the andmore-dev mailing list on this was well.

Eclipse IP has reviewed the KXML2 code and in talking to the maintainers they have some concerns about IP Providence.   As I know this is used by some of SDK support libraries in AOSP, I was wondering if there is a possibility that we can swap in another XML Pull parser, or is the AOSP code tightly bundled with KXML2?
