I am basically trying to create a stanza similar to this one:
<x xmlns='vcard-temp:x:update'>
<photo/>
</x>
So the question is how to create the "<photo/>" element?
I am trying something like this:
builder.startInnerElement("x", "vcard-temp:x:update");
builder.startInnerElement("photo");
builder.endInnerElement();
builder.endInnerElement();
Which will end up like this:
<x xmlns='vcard-temp:x:update'>
<photo xmlns=""></photo>
</x>
Thanks,
Eilon
