Hi all, My task is just to get an xml string using XmlSerializer. Problem is that it seems like the serializer stops adding any new element and/or attribute to the xml document when it reaches certain length (perhaps 10,000 char?). My questions: have you experience this kind of problem? What could be possible solutions? Here is my sample test code:

public void doSerialize() throws XmlPullParserException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalStateException, IOException   {
    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    XmlSerializer serializer = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance().newSerializer();
    serializer.setOutput(writer);
    serializer.startDocument(null, null);
    serializer.startTag(null, "START");
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        serializer.attribute(null, "ATTR" + i, "VAL " + i);
    }
    serializer.startTag(null, "DATA");
    for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
        serializer.attribute(null, "attr" + i, "value " + i);
    }

    serializer.endTag(null, "DATA");
    serializer.endTag(null, "START");
    serializer.endDocument();

    String xml = writer.toString(); // value: until 493rd attribute
    int n = xml.length();  // value: 10125
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
