Parse resource ids via simplexml in Android

Question

In my Android application I need to parse xml like this:

<items>
    <item title="@string/item1" />
    <item title="@string/item2" />
</items>

I'd like to use simplexml for parsing.

But I cannot find anything about parsing resources ids in attributes. Is it possible to parse title attribute as int?

do you need R.string.item1 value? If yes, this will work http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3042961/how-can-i-get-the-resource-id-of-an-image-if-i-know-its-name — logcat, Jun 13 '12 at 08:58
Yes, now I do something like this. But I want simplexml to read int value for me, but not to resolve id each time for myself. — darja, Jun 13 '12 at 09:08
Looks like custom Filter implementation may work for you http://simple.sourceforge.net/download/stream/doc/tutorial/tutorial.php#template — logcat, Jun 13 '12 at 09:22

Yes, in SAXparser's startElement() you will have a parameter named attributes.

see this example

I know how to do this via SAX parser and PullParser. Now I'm looking for solution for simplexml – darja Jun 13 '12 at 05:48
hmmm, can you just have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7001052/android-simple-xml-how-to-declare-a-list-of-elements – Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh Jun 13 '12 at 05:55
I don't see any relation to my question. – darja Jun 13 '12 at 06:00
It seems that the only solution is not to use simplexml :( – darja Jun 13 '12 at 18:41
