How Can I Cast A String To A Soapobject In Ksoap2?

In my Android app I use ksoap2 for communication with a server. I download a certain complex sports information structure via soap request and parse it later in my program. What I

Solution 1:

This here seems to work:

public SoapObject createSoapObjectFromSoapObjectString(String soapObjectString)
{
// Create a SoapSerializationEnvelope with some configSoapSerializationEnvelopeenv=newSoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
env.dotNet = true;

// Set your string as output
env.setOutputSoapObject(soapObjectString);

// Get responseSoapObjectso= (SoapObject) env.getResponse();

return so;
}

Solution 2:

Hope this should work fine for converting a soap XML string to a SoapObject

public SoapObject string2SoapObject(byte[] bytes)
{
    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope=new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER12);
    SoapObject soap=null;
    try {
        ByteArrayInputStream inputStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
        XmlPullParser p= Xml.newPullParser();
        p.setInput(inputStream, "UTF8");
        envelope.parse(p);
        soap=(SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return soap;
}

Solution 3:

Lets say, someObject is an object with the members CategoryId, Name, Description. If you are getting these object members in the response, you can save them to someObject by doing this:

SoapObjectresponse= (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();

someObject.CategoryId =  Integer.parseInt(response.getProperty(0).toString());
someObject.Name =  response.getProperty(1).toString();
someObject.Description = response.getProperty(2).toString();

EDIT:

Ok I see the problem now.

To get a soapobject, only way I can think of is:

1)parse the stored string 2)store all the data fields in local variables

Parse stored string:

start loop
int x = something
string y = something
double z = something
endloop

3)create a new object using the variables

someObject.fieldx = x
someObject.fieldy = y
someObject.fieldz = z

4)create a new soapobject

SoapObjectsp_Object=newSoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);

5)create a propertyinfo using the object in step 3

PropertyInfoprop=newPropertyInfo();
prop.setNamespace(NAMESPACE);
prop.setType(someObject.getClass());
prop.setValue(someObject);

6)add the propertyinfo to the soapobject in step 4

sp_Object.addProperty(prop);

Then you can use the soapobject sp_Object for your parser.
