Try This.

var result = []; var fileName = 'arrays1.xml'; //save xml file var tableView = Ti.UI.createTableView({ data : result, width : '100%', height : '100%' });

function readXML(fileName)
{

var file = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, fileName); 
var xmltext = file.read().text; 
var doc = Ti.XML.parseString(xmltext); 

var parentNodeLength = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('string-array').length; 
for (var i = 0; i < parentNodeLength; i++) { 
var attrValue = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('string-array').item(i).attributes.getNamedItem('name').nodeValue;
if (attrValue === 'Angle_array') {

    var parentNode = doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('string-array').item(i);
    var subNodeLength = parentNode.getElementsByTagName('item').length;

    for (var j = 0; j < subNodeLength; j++) {

        var title = parentNode.getElementsByTagName('item').item(j).text;
        var row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
            height : 110
        });
        var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
            height : Ti.UI.SIZE,
            width : Ti.UI.SIZE,
            text : title
        });

        row.add(label);
        result.push(row);
    }
}

}
}
readXML(fileName); 
tableView.setData(result);
win1.add(tableView); 
win1.open();

i am not familiar with titanium but maybe this should help you out:

var result = this.responseText;
var xml = Ti.XML.parseString(result);

var params = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("member");
var name = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("name");
var value = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("string");
var data = [];

for (var i=0;i<params.item.length;i++) {
    Ti.API.log('Param '+i+': Name: '+n.item(i).text);
    Ti.API.log('Param '+i+': Value: '+v.item(i).text);

    // Add to array
    data.push({"name":n.item(i).text,"value":v.item(i).text});
}

copied from this link

for displaying it in uitableview, save your values in nsarray and display your array in tableview. here is a tutorial for UITableView.
