  1. The bottom exceptions on that stack trace look to be the source of your issues. It looks like the WordPress library is using redstone-xmlrpc and it would seem that it is trying to use an XMLReader, or at the very least you are tying to use one. 

    Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Can't create default XMLReader; is system property org.xml.sax.driver set?

    This link will likely help you, it’s an SO question relating to porting code from Java to Android, but he was having the same error.

    porting to Android: why am I getting “Can’t create default XMLReader; is system property org.xml.sax.driver set?”?

    Although, it would seem that the XML portion of your code is built in to the WordPress library, which probably means that you can’t fix it to work with Android. But you never know, there may be a constructor that will allow you to pass a custom XMLReader for use with the library.

    It might be worth it to contact WordPress and see what they have to say about porting their code to Android, it isn’t unheard of for developers to work with people such as yourself to complete a task that they either can’t work on, or won’t.

    Also, check for source code, perhaps you can track it down and modify the library so that it will suit your needs (But depending on the licensing you may not want to do this).
