One way I found that the Xml parser (on Froyo 2.2) works with namespace prefixes is by specifying the namespace URL as the first parameter to your item.getChild() call. For example, if your xml looks like this, you code can use the xmlns url as the first parameter.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><rss xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:sample="http://www.example_web_site_here.com/dtds/sample_schema.dtd" version="2.0"><channel><item><sample:duration>1:00:00</sample:duration></item></channel></rss>Your listener setup would look like this to get the duration element text:
item.getChild("http://www.example_web_site_here.com/dtds/sample_schema.dtd", "duration").setEndTextElementListener(new EndTextElementListener(){ public void end(String body) { this.itemDuration = body; } });It requires knowledge of the namespace, but it has been working for me. In my case, I know the name space.
