XmlPullParser getting all child values

How can I get child xml values ?

I mean : If xml.getName() = Section give me its Sub values. I think I must use a while loop in it but I couldnt achieve it !

OR is it possible to get parent value ?

<Top name="Top category">

  <Section name="Sub category 1">
     <Sub note="text" />
     <Sub note="text" />
  </Section>

<Section name="Sub category 2">
     <Sub note="text" />
     <Sub note="text" />
  </Section>

</Top>

...

  while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {

 if ((eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) &&(_xml.getName().equals("Section"))){
                    String _Section = _xml.getAttributeValue(null, "name");

// take its Sub note values


   }    

 }

}

May I suggest using a good de-serialization library like AQuery - https://code.google.com/p/android-query/

I'm no way associated with the project, but seems it can solve your task in hand much more efficiently and robustly

When dealing with pull parsers you have to create an object such that it can be accessed when you run into a subelement of that object. For example in this case whenever you run into a START_TAG for a Section, create a Section object and save it in a variable outside of the method scope. Then if you find another START_TAG Sub and the Section is not null,it means you're in a section and you need to add a sub section. Once you find an END_TAG for Section then add the current Section object to a list and then set that variable you had to null.
