how to get value from xml tag in android

Question

I have made a parser,in that i am getting all the values of that xml tag,But i want to get some values which are inside tag as an argument,I dont know how to get it from tags,The sample xml is as below: sample.xml

  <ChargeableRateInfo averageBaseRate="226.7" averageRate="192.69" 
commissionableUsdTotal="192.69" currencyCode="USD" maxNightlyRate="192.69" 
nightlyRateTotal="192.69" surchargeTotal="46.8" total="239.49">
<NightlyRatesPerRoom size="1"><NightlyRate baseRate="226.7" 
rate="192.69" promo="true"/></NightlyRatesPerRoom>

,I want to get value of "averageRate","nightlyRateTotal","total",But I have no idea how to get that data?My parser is as below:

while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT && !done) {
                tagName = parser.getName();

TAG_ITEM = "ChargeableRateInfo";

 XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
     factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
     XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

     xpp.setInput(new StringReader ("your_xml/"));
     int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
     while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
      if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT) {
          System.out.println("Start document");
      } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
          System.out.println("End document");
      } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
          System.out.println("Start tag "+xpp.getName());

// For Attribute 
String tag = parser.getName();
    if (TAG_ITEM.equals(tag)) {

        Log.d(LOG_NAME, parser.getAttributeValue(null, "averageBaseRate"); );


        Log.d(LOG_NAME, parser.getAttributeValue(null, "averageRate"); );


        Log.d(LOG_NAME, parser.getAttributeValue(null, "commissionableUsdTotal"); );


        Log.d(LOG_NAME, parser.getAttributeValue(null, "currencyCode"); );
    }   


      } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG) {
          System.out.println("End tag "+xpp.getName());
      } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT) {
          System.out.println("Text "+xpp.getText());
      }
      eventType = xpp.next();
     }

Answer 2

You can do it using DOM Parser instead.

Example:

Document doc = parser.getDomElement(YOUR_XML);
 String averageBaseRate= doc.getElementsByTagName("ChargeableRateInfo ").item(0).getAttributes().getNamedItem("averageBaseRate").getNodeValue();
 String averageRate= doc.getElementsByTagName("ChargeableRateInfo ").item(1).getAttributes().getNamedItem("averageRate").getNodeValue();
 ...

Answer 3

Try... parser.getAttributeValue(null, "averageRate");
