You should substitute the XmlResourceParser with XmlPullParser. The first one is for parsing xml from resources folder, the latter - for parsing xml from InputStream. From then on you need to construct an InputStream from the sdcard:

File file = new File (path-to-your-file);
fileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

xpp.setInput(fis, "UTF-8");// or whatever encoding suites you

EDIT: BTW I am interested in the way you implemented to parse plist in android.

Just use the java file command for your xml file on sdcard.

File file=new File("/mnt/sdcard/example.xml");

and using DOM or SAX parser you can parse the data(information) from it for your application.

Thnx.

EDIT: parsing local xml file using Sax in android, Read XML Resources in Android, using XmlResourceParser: XML parsing interface or Here or Here Look at these tutorials.
