Android SAX parser not getting full text from between tags

@Override
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
        Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    sb=new StringBuilder();
    if(localName.equals("icon"))
    {
        iconflag=true;
    }
}

@Override
public void characters (char ch[], int start, int length) {
    if (sb!=null && iconflag == true) {
        for (int i=start; i<start+length; i++) {
            sb.append(ch[i]);
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
        throws SAXException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if(iconflag)
    {
        info.setIcon(sb.toString().trim());
        iconflag=false;
    }
}

So I figured it out, the code above is the solution.

As you can see, it's cutting everything off the url from the ampersand escape code and after.

From the documentation of the characters() method:

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

When I write SAX parsers, I use a StringBuilder to append everything passed to characters():

public void characters (char ch[], int start, int length) {
    if (buf!=null) {
        for (int i=start; i<start+length; i++) {
            buf.append(ch[i]);
        }
    }
}

Then in endElement(), I take the contents of the StringBuilder and do something with it. That way, if the parser calls characters() several times, I don't miss anything.
