• Welcome to the world of a buggy and incomplete platform implementation and the land of no debugger :-)

  A very important point to keep in mind is that Titanium's DOMDocument implementation is not what you get in any normal browser. It's DOM2 implementation is incomplete, buggy, and wrong in some cases. It also doesn't support legacy DOM which real DOMDocument implementations support. One example is attributes and childNode array notation. If you have xml code that has node.childNode[x] your app will crash. If you have xml code that has node.attributes[z] your app will crash… Good luck!

• There is xml parsing example in kitchensink and many example codes posted in Q&A. I have an app in both Android Market and iPhone App store that uses xml parsing. What problem are you facing? Can you share your code, xml feed, issue/errors?

• Hi,

  If could give us an example of the XML you're trying to parse and the code you're using to try and parse it, we can help you out. :)

  It's working fine for me too. See the XML RSS demo in KitchenSink.

• I am having the same/similar issue. My app worked fine using local images - referencing my "images array" variable. With the code below - no images are loaded and I get this error message:

  "Terminating in response to SpringBoard's termination.
  e of 0, meaning this view may not be visible."

  [WARN] [object TiUIScrollView] has an auto height value of 0, meaning this view may not be visible.

  var url="http://supportourtroops.sitegrafx.com/images.xml"; //  xml feed url
  var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
  
  xhr.onload = function() {
      var doc = this.responseXML.documentElement;
          Ti.App.info(doc);
      var items = doc.getElementsByTagName("image");
          Ti.App.info(items);
      var x = 0;
      for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
          var item = items.item(i);
              Ti.App.info(item);
          images.push({
              path : item.getElementsByTagName("path").item(0).text,
              hasChild:true,
              content : item.getElementsByTagName("content").item(0).text
          });
      }
              Ti.App.info(images);
  }
  xhr.onerror = function(e) {
      // should do something more robust
      alert('Network error '+e.error);
  };
  
  xhr.open('GET',url);
  xhr.send();

• Nevermind. Rick found his solution by switching over to Phonegap.
