[android-developers] Beta tester wanted for OCR application
Hi all, My Small OCR application is ready to be beta tested. For now it can (hopefully correctly) recognize and dial phone numbers in dark letters against light backgrounds. It utulises open source OCR library: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaocr/ Signed APK can be downloaded from: http://www.pribluda.de/android/ocrcall/ I'm interested in reports from various devices and android versions.

[android-developers] Re: Easy and fast XML Parser?
DOM consumes memory and creates load of object (for big XML files), but DOM is easy to work with. SAX is event driven, but programming modell is awkward. There is pull XML parser in android though - like SAX but you are in control. But usually you like to have you objects out of XML - so you will need kind of databinding tool (unfortunately there is not one in android) XStream is easy to use, but not really small. I decided to use JSON in my apps, and wrote small databinding library: http://github.com/ko5tik/jsonserializer It works well on even relatively big JSON files (highscore lists with 1000 entries ) On Jul 13, 4:42 am, Streets Of Boston wrote: > I myself use the android.sax.* classes and the > org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserFactory that's configured to use the > org.xmlpull.v1.sax2.Driver class for the actual hard work. > > (I wrapped some extra classes of my own around these (android.sax.*) > to better track the the current context (i.e. which element the pull- > parser is currently handling) of the parsing) > > On Jul 12, 3:30 pm, Siva wrote: > > > Can anyone tell me the easy and fastest XML Parser? > > > I need guide/sample code... > > > please help me... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Google is big and visible - so they have to comply with goverment demands in the countries they are physically present.

[android-developers] Re: Best way for web service calls ??
Do you send or receive? Large data requires some kind of pull parser - there is native pull parser for XML (in android) but not for JSON. So for 1: if you receive try to use XML with pull parser, or some 3rd party library for JSON prividing same functionality for 2: it does not matter. I use small data binding library for JSON (http://github.com/ko5tik/jsonserializer) If data amount is really big I would open plain socket to avoid overhead with HTTP client. To synchronize highscores in my game I use REST service with 2 methods: push( all the necessary fields) - just saves single highscore entry, and is called periodically by game to save all local entries (unless those are already pushed) pull(since date) - pulls all newer entries from service. On first invocation (game just installed, or upgraded from previous version) since == 0 , so all entries are pulled. I also supply all entries with UUID to solve problem with double submission or unreliable communication.
