Hi,

I'm having problems parsing a relatively large XML file on the Android platform.
The XML I'm trying to parse is about 1.5 megabytes - and while I walk through each node with a recursive function, the data is saved to a database node by node.

This is my recursive function:

function parseXMLData(xml, level)
{

    var xmlElem = xml;

    if (xmlElem.nodeName == 'page') 
    {
        savePageToDatabase(xmlElem, level);
    }

    if (xmlElem.nodeName == 'element' && xmlElem.getAttribute('dataStructure') == 'Absatz') 
    {
        saveContentToDatabase(xmlElem);
    }

    if (xmlElem.nodeName == 'element' && xmlElem.getAttribute('ctype') == 'text') 
    {
        saveTextToDatabase(xmlElem);
    }

    if (xmlElem.hasChildNodes()) 
    {
        ++level;
    }
    else 
    {
        --level;
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < xmlElem.childNodes.length; ++i) 
    {
        parseXMLData(xmlElem.childNodes.item(i), level);
    }

}

Now what I get is a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Exception that ends the parsing of the XML when I try to walk thorugh that 1.5 megabyte file. What irritates me, is that the code works fine for smaller XML files (400kb).

AND: This code works just perfectly fine for the same large file on iOs devices!

Is there any way to free some memory or has anybody got a good solution to this problem?
