Android simply provide a SAX parser for parsing. Go thru it on android developer site – Shaireen Dec 07 '11 at 07:53

Android provides a simple SAXParser for developers: http://developer.android.com/reference/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParser.html
So use the SAXParserFactory to create a parser. Then use the sub class of DefaultHandler to handle all parse events.
One more relevant class is the PullParser:
http://developer.android.com/reference/org/xmlpull/v1/XmlPullParser.html
