       description of the tags of scenes.xml file

       Hi all,
       Thanks Hitlab for providing this Outdoor AR library!
       I want to ask if there is any description of the tags of
       scenes.xml file. I want to create a campus scene and what I am
       defining is, under scenes tag a scene tag and under that
       multiple campus building models (under different model tags). Is
       it a correct approach or should I create different scenes for
       every building? I am confused since there were two scenes tags
       in the scenes.xml file of tutorialbasic project and all
       displayed on the same scene. What is the meaning of defining
       multiple scenes in the xml file if they are displayed in one
       scene? Wouldn't it be more meaningful to define multiple models
       ( box and basketball) under one scenes/scene tag?
       Thanks

       sorry if i misunderstand you.. the first <scenes> tag for all
       scenes.. and then we define each of it in <scene> so if you wnt
       to do many type of scenes.. i guess you have to do the <scene>
       tag one by one.

       For now, the parser only recognizes the predefined tags.
       If you want to add your own tag, you'll have to write your own
       xml parser.
       BTW, I would recommend staying away from using the XML for scene
       description,
       but would rather suggest using the SQLite database file.
       It is easier to add new field to a SQLite table.
       You can extend the OADataManagerAssets class and override the
       loadScenes() methods to read your custom fields as below:
       @Override
       protected void loadScenes() {
       if(getDataLoader() != null) {
       List<SceneData> loadedScenes =
       getDataLoader().getSceneData();
       
       // load custom data fields from the scenes file and add a
       custom scene
       SQLiteDatabase db = null;
       try {
       db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(getLocalDbPath(), null,
       SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY |
       SQLiteDatabase.NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS);
       } catch (SQLiteException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       Log.d(TAG, "Error while loading SQLite DB: " +
       getLocalDbPath());
       return;
       }
       
       if(db != null) {
       Cursor cursor =
       FROM scene AS s", null);
       while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
       int sceneId = cursor.getInt(0);
       for(SceneData sd: loadedScenes) {
       if(sd.id == sceneId) {
       addScene(new CityScene(sd, cursor.getString(1)));
       break;
       }
       }
       }
       cursor.close();
       
       db.close();
       }
       }
       }
