As you have noticed all the tags have end tags accept media:thumnnail and i have to parse the attribute url value from it.

Regardless of having other content, if you need to get attributes from a tag, you do it in your override of the DefaultHandler startElement method, which will be called with a value in the Attributes parameter.

To get the value of a specific attribute name from this parameter, use the Attributes getValue method.

For an example of parsing attributes(though not actually using the getValue method), see my answer to this related question.
