Binary to XML

AswinKumar — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:05:41 GMT

Hello,

I have an android manifest file which is in binary. I want to convert this to XML or string. I need to get some data from this file.

I did this but still the value is not in a readable format. If required i can attach the that file.

/doc/cl_as_document_utils=>convert_bintab_to_xstring(

exporting

it_binary_tab = lt_content

i_binary_size = lv_filelength

receiving

r_xdata = ev_xstring

lv_string = /doc/cl_as_document_utils=>convert_xstring_to_string( i_xdata = ev_xstring ).

Thanks & regards,

Aswin

Hello Aswin,

Try this:

data:
  l_xstring   type xstring,
  l_xml       type string.
      CALL TRANSFORMATION id
        SOURCE XML l_xstring
        RESULT XML     l_xml.
    cl_uxs_xml_services=>show(
         id_string   = l_xml
    ).

Kind regards,

Hendrik

Hi Hendrick,

The normal transformation din't work. Because it is not in direct XML. It is in binary xml format.

Hello Aswin,

sure. But the CALL TRANSFORMATION is able to transform even a xstring-XML.

The question is: How do you import your manifest-XML?

Kind regards,

Hendrik

Hi,

The file will be uploaded from UI and it will be in binary format.

From binary i am trying to convert it to Xstring and from there to either XML or String in a readable format.

Hi Felipe,

As i said earlier it is not a straight forward conversion. I tried all these things already and it din't work out. This Manifest file is a Binary XML file.
