I am developing a collada loader for android OpenGL ES2, the scene has many meshes and lights which I can load them, now I am working on loding skeletons and animations, I can parse skeletons from visual_scene node and store them in a list of Skeleton class which has an Id and a Joint list, I parse the controllers from library_controllers which I can link with the mesh throw rhe url of the instance_controller of the visual scene node, now I want to link the controller with the skeleton for example: the skeleton part in the visual_scene library is:
<node id="Armature_001" name="Armature_001" type="NODE">
<translate sid="location">0 5 -3.883436</translate>
<rotate sid="rotationZ">0 0 1 0</rotate>
<rotate sid="rotationY">0 1 0 0</rotate>
<rotate sid="rotationX">1 0 0 0</rotate>
<scale sid="scale">1 1 1</scale>
<node id="Bone" name="Bone" sid="Bone" type="JOINT">
<matrix sid="transform">1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1</matrix>
<node id="Bone_001" name="Bone.001" sid="Bone_001" type="JOINT">
<matrix sid="transform">1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1</matrix>
</node>
</node>
</node>
and the mesh from the visual_scene is:
<node id="Cube" name="Cube" type="NODE">
<translate sid="location">0 0 0</translate>
<rotate sid="rotationZ">0 0 1 0</rotate>
<rotate sid="rotationY">0 1 0 0</rotate>
<rotate sid="rotationX">1 0 0 0</rotate>
<scale sid="scale">1 1 1</scale>
<instance_controller url="#Armature_001_Cube-skin">
<skeleton>#Bone</skeleton>
<bind_material>
<technique_common>
<instance_material symbol="Material_001-material" target="#Material_001-material"/>
</technique_common>
</bind_material>
</instance_controller>
</node>
and the controller from library_controllers is:
<controller id="Armature_Cube_001-skin" name="Armature">
<skin source="#Cube_001-mesh">
<bind_shape_matrix>1 0 0 0 0 1 0 -5 0 2.78181e-8 3 -1.39091e-7 0 0 0 1</bind_shape_matrix>

my question if there are many meshes which have different skeletons and controllers can I link controller and the skeleton from Id string
Try AssimpLib, supports Collada with skeletal animations well, it do all the hard work
