How to convert string in to xml in android?

[weiliossy]

I am in need to convert data in List to XML string. Currently i am using the following method as conversion method in android, \[code\] private String writeXml(List<DataItem> item) { XmlSerializer serializer = Xml.newSerializer(); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); try { serializer.setOutput(writer); serializer.startDocument("UTF-16",null); serializer.startTag("", "MainData"); serializer.startTag("", "Data"); for (DataItem in: item) { serializer.startTag("", "Key"); serializer.text(in.getKey()); serializer.endTag("", "Key"); serializer.startTag("", "Value"); serializer.text(in.getValue()); serializer.endTag("", "Value"); } serializer.endTag("", "Data"); serializer.endTag("", "MainData"); serializer.endDocument(); System.out.println(writer.toString()); return writer.toString(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); }}\[/code\]I have seen this method in C# \[code\] XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<DataItem>)); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add("",""); serializer.Serialize(sw, tempdataitems,ns); form.AddField("EX" + i , sw.ToString());\[/code\]But while trying this it shows \[code\] Syntax error on token ">", Expression expected after this token\[/code\]at the end of \[code\] new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<DataItem>));\[/code\]Is it possible to have the same method in android? orIs there any other method to do the same conversion?Thanks in advance
