Remarks

Basic interface for resolving entities.

If a SAX application needs to implement customized handling for external entities, it must implement this interface and register an instance with the SAX driver using the org.xml.sax.XMLReader#setEntityResolver setEntityResolver method.

The XML reader will then allow the application to intercept any external entities (including the external DTD subset and external parameter entities, if any) before including them.

Many SAX applications will not need to implement this interface, but it will be especially useful for applications that build XML documents from databases or other specialised input sources, or for applications that use URI types other than URLs.

The following resolver would provide the application with a special character stream for the entity with the system identifier "http://www.myhost.com/today":

import org.xml.sax.EntityResolver;
            import org.xml.sax.InputSource;

            public class MyResolver implements EntityResolver {
              public InputSource resolveEntity (String publicId, String systemId)
              {
                if (systemId.equals("http://www.myhost.com/today")) {
                         // return a special input source
                  MyReader reader = new MyReader();
                  return new InputSource(reader);
                } else {
                         // use the default behaviour
                  return null;
                }
              }
            }

The application can also use this interface to redirect system identifiers to local URIs or to look up replacements in a catalog (possibly by using the public identifier).

Added in SAX 1.0.

Properties

Handle	Gets the JNI value of the underlying Android object. (Inherited from IJavaObject)
JniIdentityHashCode	Returns the value of java.lang.System.identityHashCode() for the wrapped instance. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
JniManagedPeerState	State of the managed peer. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
JniPeerMembers	Member access and invocation support. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
PeerReference	Returns a JniObjectReference of the wrapped Java object instance. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)

Methods

Disposed()	Called when the instance has been disposed. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
DisposeUnlessReferenced()	If there are no outstanding references to this instance, then calls Dispose(); otherwise, does nothing. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
Finalized()	Called when the instance has been finalized. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
ResolveEntity(String, String)	Allow the application to resolve external entities.
SetJniIdentityHashCode(Int32)	Set the value returned by JniIdentityHashCode. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
SetJniManagedPeerState(JniManagedPeerStates)	(Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
SetPeerReference(JniObjectReference)	Set the value returned by PeerReference. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
UnregisterFromRuntime()	Unregister this instance so that the runtime will not return it from future Java.Interop.JniRuntime+JniValueManager.PeekValue invocations. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)

Extension Methods

JavaCast<TResult>(IJavaObject)	Performs an Android runtime-checked type conversion.
