like this you can parse. 

 try {
     File file = new File("mnt/sdcard/xxx.xml");
     InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file.getPath());
     DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
     Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(is));
     doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

     NodeList nodelist = doc.getElementsByTagName("consignment");
     Node node = nodeList.item(0);
     Element fstElmnt = (Element) node;
     String id=fstElmnt.getAttribute("iid");
     String consignmentId=(String)fstElmnt.Element("consignmentId");
     String orderCode=(String)fstElmnt.Element("orderCode");

    }
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
     System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
    }

To pass your file in to be read you will need to do first get your file:

String sdcardDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath;
File fileToRead = new File(dir, "path/to/file");
InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(fileToRead);

See the following site on how to parse XML: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/xml.html

With the inputstream you can now pass it to your parser from the link.

EDIT: You can add it to your textview by adding it to your layout then in your activity/fragment find the view and call .setText(String).
