Question

I've a String Input that contains an Layout.xml with String Fromat.

 // String that contains the Layout.xml :

 String concat ;

 // Create the XmlPullParser from the String format

 XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();

 factory.setNamespaceAware(true);

 XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
 xpp.setInput( new StringReader (concat) ); 

 // create le The LayoutInflater 

 LayoutInflater inflater =         (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

 View myView = inflater.inflate(xpp, null);

I've got this bug:

It seems that the Inflater only accepts XmlBlock.

I have written an method to do this, you can referer to the project site: https://github.com/liudongmiao/preference-fragment-compat/blob/master/src/me/piebridge/android/preference/PreferenceFragment.java#L202

The main codes like this:

// byte[] data = ... 
// bytes of compiled xml (unzip the apk, get the bytes from res/layout*/*.xml)

// XmlBlock block = new XmlBlock(data);
Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("android.content.res.XmlBlock");
Constructor<?> constructor = clazz.getDeclaredConstructor(byte[].class);
constructor.setAccessible(true);
Object block = constructor.newInstance(data);

// XmlPullParser parser = block.newParser();
Method method = clazz.getDeclaredMethod("newParser");
method.setAccessible(true);
XmlPullParser parser = method.invoke(block);
