Description

When parsing from a string, XmlPullParser fails if the encoding from the XML declaration is different than the system's file encoding.

Examples:
-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
parser.parse("<?xml encoding='UTF-8' ?><span id='umlaut-äöü'></span>");

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
parser.parse("<?xml encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?><span id='umlaut-äöü'></span>");

Both fail because the string is read with the system's file encoding while the parser expects the stream to be encoded in the declarated encoding.
