The best way to read XML in Android is to use the Simple XML Framework. If you want a step by step guide then you should take a look at the blog post on the topic that I wrote. If you knew simple then this would take you all of ten minutes to write the code that can parse it.

There are quite a few examples of this online; the first page of a Google search "parse xml in java" was filled with examples.
