Problems whilst Parsing XML with KXML2
I have been doing a lot of reading up on the APIs of XMLPull and KXML2.
I seem to be facing a problem which can't be solved just by reading but rather the expertise of the more experienced programmers dealing with XML parsing in J2ME.
I know how long it takes to process an entire XML document, I just would like to parse certain parts of the document. For e.g. instead of reading the whole document, say I just want to read the first 7 items and subsequently, the next 7 items when the user clicks on the next page?
In other words, I wish to incorporate paging. Is it possible? Or if you have an alternative solution which will not make a user wait too long, please share it!
Can anyone help me?

I don't think that is possible. We can't make the XML any smaller because it contains all the information I want to display. Just that I want to display it in pages/sections so as to reduce the load.
So I was thinking of whether it is possible to read the first 5 <title> tags and next 5 for every page ... etc

imagine that you have 20 pages so the user will have to download a 20 x 5 items xml file?
if the user stops the navigation at page 4, he will download 16 pages for nothing so that's
why i told you to separate the results...
an xml file for each page and not a huge for all !
# 4
That is what I am trying to achieve. I only get the XML file when the user clicks on a specific page. However I do not understand how we can actually make a smaller xml file especially when all the info is in there. Isn't there anyway I can ask the Xmlparser to say read the first 5 now, then the next 5 ... etc
