Btw I also have tried this instead :
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.myserver.com/xmlstream";);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
Xml.parse(is, Xml.Encoding.ISO_8859_1, new ExampleHandler
());
} catch (Exception e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
This time it wont just crash but for example if I print the output
(through Log) I get
Found attribute : Ã…land eilanden
and
Found attribute : Albanië instead of Albanié
So any input on this ?
