Declare a Namespace prefix.

[Android.Runtime.Register("declarePrefix", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Z", "GetDeclarePrefix_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_lang_String_Handler")]
public virtual bool DeclarePrefix (string? prefix, string? uri);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("declarePrefix", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Z", "GetDeclarePrefix_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_lang_String_Handler")>]
abstract member DeclarePrefix : string * string -> bool
override this.DeclarePrefix : string * string -> bool

Parameters

prefix: String

The prefix to declare, or the empty string to indicate the default element namespace. This may never have the value "xml" or "xmlns".

uri: String

The Namespace URI to associate with the prefix.

Returns

Boolean

true if the prefix was legal, false otherwise

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Declare a Namespace prefix. All prefixes must be declared before they are referenced. For example, a SAX driver (parser) would scan an element's attributes in two passes: first for namespace declarations, then a second pass using #processName processName() to interpret prefixes against (potentially redefined) prefixes.

This method declares a prefix in the current Namespace context; the prefix will remain in force until this context is popped, unless it is shadowed in a descendant context.

To declare the default element Namespace, use the empty string as the prefix.

Note that you must <em>not</em> declare a prefix after you've pushed and popped another Namespace context, or treated the declarations phase as complete by processing a prefixed name.

Note that there is an asymmetry in this library: #getPrefix getPrefix will not return the "" prefix, even if you have declared a default element namespace. To check for a default namespace, you have to look it up explicitly using #getURI getURI. This asymmetry exists to make it easier to look up prefixes for attribute names, where the default prefix is not allowed.
