android: dump data from local xml file to SQLite database

Question

How can I copy my data from xyz.xml in my assets dir to my sqllite db during development in android platform

I think you need to write some class or method that will do that import for you. No one knows how the XML tags map to your database structure but you. — codinguser

Something like this..

InputStream is;
Document dom = null;
is = getAssets().open("main.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
dom = builder.parse(is);
Element root = dom.getDocumentElement();

You can use:

XMLPullParser xpp = getResources().getXml(R.xml.id);
