While you are not crazy to think *null* might mean something useful, let me point out the line of reasoning you need to follow:
Exactly what namespace did you expect *null* to give you? Why do you hold the opinion that *null* should give you this namespace? And exactly what namespace are you calling the "null-Namespace"? If you want the same namespace that results when you don't specify a namespace, for example the namespace in the only element in this trivial document: <trivialDocument/> Then what you want is java.xml.XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI. You supply this to the startTag() method. If you want the namespace is that currently associated with no prefix (what the standard calls the "default namespace"), you use a prefix of "" and the namespace of whatever namespace you want that prefix to be used, in a call to setPrefix(), then call startTag() using the exact same namespace. Where does *null* fit in here? The XML standards are not written assuming that programming languages even *have* a concept of *null*. I know of no context in any language or API in which *null* is a valid URI. I hope that makes it both clear, and seem less strange. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
