I was trying to make an app which has a component that will make an HTTP request and receive a XML file. I need to parse the file to display some data. I was using MIT App Inventor. How can I do that using the app inventor? If it is not possible by that approach then how I can do it in traditional manner?

And is it possible to import MIT App Inventor project to another IDE like Eclipse?

Thank you for your time.

    Use saxParser.see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4827344/how-to-parse-xml-using-the-sax-parser – Shehzad Apr 15 '12 at 14:54

    Does it need to receive XML? @ZiG gave you a good way to receive JSON. There were examples that parsed XML but App Inventor has support for reading JSON and csv – Gary F Apr 18 '12 at 14:19
  • It needed to receive xml at that point. Fortunately I got a workaround on that. Thanks. – Quazi Farhan Apr 18 '12 at 18:18

You have to hard code it like JSON-

No, you can not import in Eclipse.

Importing an app inventor to eclipse project is possible but with some limitations.It's a java bridge project(uses Java Bridge library) which converts existing MIT app inventor project to Java.

Follow the link to convert: https://appinventortojava.appspot.com/login/
