Could you post the first line of the XML so we can see what it comprises
of ? i.e. what XML declaration does the string contain which the
parser is rejecting ?<br>
<br>
As a result of the DOM Vendor implementation model in Delphi, behaviour
on Windows is no indication of reliability on Android, iOS or OS X (as
you are finding).<br>
<br>
For Android it seems that the key to your problem is in
XML.Internal.AdomCore_4_3.pas, specifically the EvaluateXmlOrTextDecl()
method of TXmlInputSource but without knowing what declaration is being
presented to this method it's impossible to say whether the problem lies
here, in the process of assigning the string from the HTTP response to
the XML document or with the content of the XML string itself.<br>

There is potential for many slips twixt this particular cup and lip.<br>

<div>Hi Jeremy <br>
<br>
Never done any Delphi Android work but is it possible it is a
character set issue? I am only using XE2 nut if I look at
XMLDoc.LoadFromXML() (I don't have a LoadXMLData) it takes an
AnsiString on at UTF16 delphi string.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
