I am trying to display the xml data, which was transformed by xsl file, onto the webview in an Android application. However, the data is not displayed as expected.
XML file used (cdcatalog_with_xsl.xml) -- Sample xml data
--------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="cdcatalog.xsl"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<catalog>
<cd>
<title>Empire Burlesque</title>
<artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
<country>USA</country>
<company>Columbia</company>
<price>10.90</price>
<year>1985</year>
</cd>
<cd>
<title>Hide your heart</title>
<artist>Bonnie Tyler</artist>
<country>UK</country>
<company>CBS Records</company>
<price>9.90</price>
<year>1988</year>
</cd>
</catalog>
XSL file used (cdcatalog.xsl) -- Sample xsl file
-----------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>My CD Collection</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Would some body help me with a sample code to load this data into webview of Android app?

Its quite tricky, i try to make it easy to understand. Just follow below steps_
your cdcatalog_with_xsl.xml & cdcatalog.xsl must be there in res/raw. I have build LoadXSLTinWebview that servers your need_
public class LoadXSLTinWebview extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
//Reading XSLT
String strXSLT = GetStyleSheet(R.raw.cdcatalog);
//Reading XML
String strXML = GetStyleSheet(R.raw.cdcatalog_with_xsl);
/*
* Loading XSLT...
*/
//Transform ...
String html=StaticTransform(strXSLT, strXML);
//Loading the above transformed CSLT in to Webview...
webview.loadData(html,"text/html",null);
}
/*
* Transform XSLT to HTML string
*/
public static String StaticTransform(String strXsl, String strXml) {
String html = "";
try {
InputStream ds = null;
ds = new ByteArrayInputStream(strXml.getBytes("UTF-8"));
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(ds);
InputStream xs = new ByteArrayInputStream(strXsl.getBytes("UTF-8"));
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(xs);
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
Result result = new StreamResult(writer);
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xsltSource);
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);
html = writer.toString();
ds.close();
xs.close();
xmlSource = null;
xsltSource = null;
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TransformerFactoryConfigurationError e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TransformerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return html;
}
/*
* Read file from res/raw...
*/
private String GetStyleSheet(int fileId) {
String strXsl = null;
InputStream raw = getResources().openRawResource(fileId);
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int size = 0;
// Read the entire resource into a local byte buffer.
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
try {
while ((size = raw.read(buffer, 0, 1024)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, size);
}
raw.close();
strXsl = outputStream.toString();
Log.v("Log", "xsl ==> " + strXsl);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return strXsl;
}
}

I hope this will help all!
