How to get coordinates of kml file android

I want to receive the coordinates of the points that are in the kml file. I created a object that receives the coordinates but I can not find how to take them from the file.

An example of what has been done so far:
(The amount of points is 132, but I shortened it to be able to present here.)

Kml file:

<LinearRing>
                <coordinates>
                    34.79991805485883,32.070779943443,0
                    34.799829164854,32.07080649750882,0
                    34.79971023480251,32.07083335300256,0
                    34.79959122858838,32.07086022634235,0
                    34.79947508289758,32.07091343448649,0
                    34.79935881388468,32.07096669690968,0
                    34.79923664471844,32.07096729415576,0
                    34.79912177286835,32.07104658864036,0
                </coordinates>
<LinearRing>

In code:

   int i =0; 
   for (KmlContainer containers : kmlLayer.getContainers()) {
       poly[i] =new PointPoly(containers);
       i++;
     }

The code does not work. Would appreciate help.

List<LatLng> points = new ArrayList<>();
for (KmlContainer c : kmlLayer.getContainers()) {
    for (KmlPlacemark p : c.getPlacemarks()) {
        KmlGeometry g = p.getGeometry();
        if (g.getGeometryType().equals("LineString")) {
            points.addAll((Collection<? extends LatLng>) g.getGeometryObject());
        }
    }
}

GeometryType can be different on your kml file, like "LinearRing". But basicaly this is working code for me.

First make sure you got the String containing the coordinates.
(the text between the <coordinates> tag)
Then use 

String[] coords3d = coordStr.split(" ");

to split into an array of lon,lat,altitude string. Loop over that array and split each string with

String[] coordLatLonAltitude = coord.split(",");

to split into separate latitude, longitude and altitude values.
