The above XML file is the file I have to parse locally. I put the XML file into assets folder. It looks like a bit complex XML file. I don't know how to parse this. Please help me for this. Each and every help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Tons of libraries out there for XML parsing so it's hard to give a definite answer here. JDOM is pretty simple to use, you could give that a try :)

Answer 2

I got the answer. What i did was that, I convert the XML file to JSON file using a jar file and parsed from there. It works for me.
