XML parsing in MIT App Inventor

Question

I was trying to make an app which has a component that will make an HTTP request and receive a XML file. I need to parse the file to display some data. I was using MIT App Inventor. How can I do that using the app inventor? If it is not possible by that approach then how I can do it in traditional manner?

And is it possible to import MIT App Inventor project to another IDE like Eclipse?

Thank you for your time.

No, you can not import in Eclipse.

Taifun's link is broken, but the new link can be found here: App Inventor Developers

Answer 3

Importing an app inventor to eclipse project is possible but with some limitations.It's a java bridge project(uses Java Bridge library) which converts existing MIT app inventor project to Java.
