Overview

This following example shows how to generate an xml using CSenDomFragment and CSenElement in S60 3rd edition. it generates MyXML and save it to C:\data directory.

The sample example creates a new root element, add attribute to it, generates child node with attribute and data.

Headers Required

#include <senelement.h> 
#include <sendomfragment.h>

Library Needed

LIBRARY   SenXml.lib

Capability Required

Capability  None

void CGenerateXMLAppUi::GenerateXML()
{
	CSenDomFragment* pSenDomFragment = CSenDomFragment::NewL(_L8("LocalName"));
 
	// create root Tag
	CSenElement* Root = pSenDomFragment->AsElement().CreateElementL(_L8(""),_L8("Root")); 
	//set its attribute
	Root->AddAttrL(_L8("volume"),_L8("0"));
	Root->AddAttrL(_L8("video"),_L8("1"));
 
 
	// create child tag
	CSenElement* Child1 = pSenDomFragment->AsElement().CreateElementL(_L8(""),_L8("Item"));
	Child1->AddAttrL(_L8("name"),_L8("kamlesh"));
	Child1->AddAttrL(_L8("surname"),_L8("sangani"));
	Child1->AddAttrL(_L8("author"),_L8("bapu"));
 
 
	// create child tag
	CSenElement* Child2 = pSenDomFragment->AsElement().CreateElementL(_L8(""),_L8("Item"));
	Child2->AddAttrL(_L8("name"),_L8("abc"));
	Child2->AddAttrL(_L8("surname"),_L8("def"));
	Child2->AddAttrL(_L8("author"),_L8("someone"));
 
	// create child tag
	CSenElement* Child3 = pSenDomFragment->AsElement().CreateElementL(_L8(""),_L8("Date"));
	TPtrC8 SetxmlParam1Content = Child3->SetContentL(_L8("Friday, May 09, 2009"));
 
	//setting parent node and transfering ownership.
	CSenElement& Child11 = Root->AddElementL(*Child1);
	CSenElement& Child21 = Root->AddElementL(*Child2);
	CSenElement& Child31 = Root->AddElementL(*Child3);
 
	RFile file;
 
	if (KErrNone != file.Open(CCoeEnv::Static()->FsSession(), _L("c:\\data\\MyXML"), EFileWrite))
		file.Replace(CCoeEnv::Static()->FsSession(), _L("c:\\data\\MyXML"), EFileWrite);
 
	HBufC8* xml = Root->AsXmlL();
 
 
	if(xml)
		file.Write(xml->Des());
	file.Close();  
 
	delete xml;
	delete pSenDomFragment;
	delete Root;
 
}
