If you want to read a whole document, use XML Parser, like Pull already mentioned. If you only want to pick out only one or few certain things, I would suggest XPath. Here is a good Tutorial on how to use XPath in Java.

First you need to parse that xml file containing the countries name. Store list of countries in any arraylist and then write any search algo to search the text found from that edittext.
