cat_desc tag can not be parsed completlly and not showing properlly in webview

Issue

Firstly please check url*http://mobileecommerce.site247365.com/admin/catdata.xml in* google chrome. I am facing two problems 1. For second cat_desc from xml having cat_name E n I Sept not showing on webview .I think it is because in its cat_desc contains % sign on first line in table style tag <"table style="border-collapse:collapse;width :100%;">How to ignore % sign?

2.Second problem is that, from last thrid tag with cat_name Handouts creating problem while parsing it cat_desc.It will not parse completely, its last three lines are not parsed .I will check it in log also,but last three lines are not paresd.Why is it so ?For other cat_desc are parsed very well and well working on webview.

public class FirstActivity extends ListActivity implements OnItemClickListener {
/** called when the activity is first created. */

String[] cat_name=null;
String[] cat_desc=null;
ListView optionslist=null;
NewsListAdapter adapter=null;
ArrayList<NewsItem> getArray=null;
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayadapter=null;
HashMap<String, String> hashamp=null;



public static final String url="http://mobileecommerce.site247365.com/admin/catdata.xml";
@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);


    innitializeUIComponents();
    new RefreshArrayFromInternet().execute(url);


}

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {

    Log.v("in position", ""+position);

    String str=new String(getArray.get(position).getCatdesc());
    Log.v("on item click desc", str);
    Intent intent=new Intent(FirstActivity.this, WebviewActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("str",str);
    startActivity(intent);

        optionslist.setAdapter(arrayadapter);

    }

}

Solution

I have gone this URl:-

http://mobileecommerce.site247365.com/admin/catdata.xml"

and find out that you have to make very small changes that use px instead of %.. as webview nor support %age symbol.. Hope it helps.. :)
