actually maninder, i am looking for some hint codes of few lines only, because i have used xml parser but always with listview but not with google mapview, therefore i want to know what would be difference if i will use mapview instead of listview to read xml data — user1736992, Oct 12 '12 at 06:29

xmp parsing will give you data which you are going to save in any ArrayList or any array....Right....So it does't matter on which view you are using that data. It is on you how to use that data.. — maninder singh, Oct 12 '12 at 06:42

MapView mapView = new MapView(this, mapkey);
MapController mc=mapView.getController();
GeoPoint myLocation = null;
Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.map_marker);
myItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new myItemizedOverlay(drawable, this);
GeoPoint ppoint = new GeoPoint(platt,plngg); //platt and plngg xml parser value lattitude and Longitude
OverlayItem poverlayitem = new     OverlayItem(ppoint,bankname,name of the place);
itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(poverlayitem);
mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
myLocation = new GeoPoint(platt,plngg);
mc.animateTo(myLocation);
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mapView.setClickable(true);
mc.setZoom(14);
mapView.invalidate();
return mapView;

MyItemizedOverlay Class --> Used to Draw a pin in map

public class myItemizedOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> {

    private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
    private Context mContext;


    public myItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker) {
         super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
    }

    public myItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, Context context) {
          super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
          mContext = context;
    }

    public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay){
        mOverlays.add(overlay);
        populate();
    }

    @Override
    protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
         return mOverlays.get(i);
    }

    public void removeItem(int i){
        mOverlays.remove(i);
        populate();
    }

    @Override
    public int size() {
        return mOverlays.size();
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean onTap(int i) {
        OverlayItem item = mOverlays.get(i);
        AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
        dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
        dialog.setMessage(item.getSnippet());
        dialog.show();
        return true;
    }



}
