Hi,

I'm currently working on Android version of Pocket AMC Reader. However I ran into problems when importing XML catalog. Can't use DOM parser as I did with Windows Mobile version since it gives me out of memory exceptions with 18Mb catalog (max heap is set to 25 Mb on Android 2.2). Then I tried SAX parser, however this one is giving me 'document not well-formed' exception. Looking into XML, I found out that characters like ’,“,” are causing problems.

Is there any way to fix it? Can AMC produce well formed XML? Would using Windows-1252 encoding be any help?

Hi,
Catalogs are stored in Windows' current encoding, so specifying Windows-1252 if you use west-european character in Windows set might help (as these characters exist in that charset but not in iso-8891 for example).
Else you can make a small script to replace such "invalid" characters in the catalog (but it is annoying to have to run it each time you want to export).

Thanks for help. Seems to work now. What I did was I opened catalog with user selectable Window encoding (in my case 1250) and then converted it to UTF-8 for database import. This way any user will able to import his characters correctly.
