I am trying to call magento api using Soap from android but I am getting XMLpullparser Exception.I am using ksoap library.I seached on google but i can't find any solution.Below is my code..

1 import java.io.IOException;

2 import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
3 import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
4 import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
5 import org.ksoap2.transport.AndroidHttpTransport;
6 import org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException;

7 import android.app.Activity;
8 import android.os.Bundle;
9 import android.util.Log;

10       public class MagentoSoapActivity extends Activity {
11         /** Called when the activity is first created. */

12      private static final String NAMESPACE = "urn:Magento";
13      private static final String Method_Name="login";
14      private static final String URL ="http://www,mymagento,com/api/soap/?wsdl=1";
15      private static final String SOAP_ACTION ="urn:Magento/login";

16 @Override
17 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
18    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
19    setContentView(R.layout.main);
20    try {
21      SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE,Method_Name);

22        request.addProperty("username", "XXX");
23        request.addProperty("apiKey", "YYY");
24        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelopes = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
25                SoapEnvelope.VER11);

26        envelopes.dotNet = false;
27        envelopes.xsd = SoapSerializationEnvelope.XSD;
28        envelopes.enc = SoapSerializationEnvelope.ENC;


29       envelopes.setOutputSoapObject(request);

30        AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);
31        androidHttpTransport.debug =true;
32        androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelopes);//Getting the Exception here
33        Object result = envelopes.getResponse();

34        Log.d("sessionId", result.toString());

35        //making call to get list of customers

36        String sessionId = result.toString();

37        request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE,"customerCustomerList");
38        request.addProperty("sessionId",sessionId );

39        envelopes.setOutputSoapObject(request);
40        androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelopes);

41        result = envelopes.getResponse();

42        Log.d("Customer List", result.toString());

43    } catch (Exception e) {
44        e.printStackTrace();
45    }
46 }
47 }

Below is stacktrace:

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: expected: START_TAG   
{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Envelope (position:START_TAG <definitions   
name='Magento' targetNamespace='urn:Magento'>@4:50 in

what java version you are compiling on? – Wahl 25/6, 2012 at 6:22

Your URL seems to have invalid spaces in between "indieswebs.in/demostore/api/soap? wsdl=1" – Lifton 25/6, 2012 at 6:30

@vipul:Thanks for reply.I am using jdk7 but i don't think that is version problem. – Shock 25/6, 2012 at 10:12

@Rajesh:Thanks for reply.Url is correct.The space problem was in posting but I edited it.You can check the response of webservice by given URL. – Shock 25/6, 2012 at 10:14

I solved my problem.I changed the complete code and instead of using SOAP now I am using XMLRPC.There is XmLRPC library at http://code.google.com/p/android-xmlrpc/ and also the example of how to use this library.

This is the link for how to parse this response in android http://inchoo.net/mobile-development/android-development/parsing-the-xmlrpc-webservice-response-in-android/

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks everyone for your response.

Hey...can you help me as i am also developing the same type of Application and getting the same error as you have describe above.I have gone through the above links but didn't understood anything..Please help me – Meehan 18/7, 2012 at 9:53

hey buddy..having some doubts..please leave me a message when you are Online..bye – Meehan 26/7, 2012 at 5:16

I want to confirm that can we use the Methods that are present in the Controllers of the Magento Site??Or else we have to make this formal Calls given by the XMLRPC api...and and...can we fetch the image of the product to display in Our Android Layouts..how to fetch them and how to save them??casn you teach me this much?? – Meehan 27/7, 2012 at 6:3

I think may be you can't directly use methods present in controllers of magento site.And you can fetch images using xmlrpc magentocommerce.com/api/soap/catalog/catalog.html. There is a method catalog_product_attribute_media.list.May it helps – Shock 27/7, 2012 at 7:1

Ok..after fetching,how to Display them..i mean where to store that image and how to store them?? – Meehan 27/7, 2012 at 7:4

magentocommerce.com/api/soap/catalog/… showing this link I think it is returning Imageurl as String and You have to store this URL.. – Shock 27/7, 2012 at 7:34

Change:

  private static final String URL ="http://indieswebs.in/demostore/api/soap/?wsdl=1";

To

  private static final String URL ="http://indieswebs.in/demostore/api/soap";

Thanks for the reply.I tried your solution.It is working for getting session Id but after getting session Id at line 40 in my code at where I call "customerCustomerList" at that point I got the same error that "XMlpullParser Exception" but this time I got:org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: expected: END_TAG {schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope}Body (position:END_TAG </{schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope}SOAP-ENV:Fault>@2:236 in java.io.InputStreamReader@44f07860) – Shock 26/6, 2012 at 4:6

Hello,If I change the method name with "resources" then it is giving me response for api v1 but for api V2 I can't get response using call method.I had read at mage-page.net/2012/04/magento-api-v2-soap-demystified that I can't use call method for api V2 and I have to use method directly but I don't understand how to use method directly.If you understand or know anything then Please give me reply.Thanks – Shock 26/6, 2012 at 6:58
