Android - Parsing large files using SAX parser
<ul>
<li><p>I am trying to parse the xml data coming from webservice using SAX parser, when i try to parse the data(size:7.4MB) using URL, it works fine but when I copy the xml data from the URL and place the xml file(size:7.4MB) in the raw folder, the parsing fails. </p></li>
<li><p>When the size of file placed in raw folder is reduced to 1.95MB, it works fine. I have tried shuffling the tags to check if there are any issues with the data, I haven't found any.It works fine as long as the size doesn't exceed 1.95MB. Is there any size limit while parsing the data from raw folder in android? if yes what is the limit? or How to parse the large files using SAX parser?</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Any pointers will really help me. Thanks in advance for your time and any help offered.</p>

<p>Regards,
Ramesh</p>
