My suggestion is starting from the basic step:

  1. think about your xml file connection: url? local?
  2. instance a DocumentBuilderFactory and a builder

DocumentBuilder dBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();

OR

URLConnection conn = new URL(url).openConnection();
InputStream inputXml = conn.getInputStream();

DocumentBuilder docBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() .newDocumentBuilder(); Document xmlDoc = docBuilder.parse(inputXml);

Parsing XML file:

Document xmlDom = dBuilder.parse(xmlFile);

After that, it turns a xml file into DOM or Tree structure, and you have to travel a node by node. In your case, you need to get content. Here is an example:

String getContent(Document doc, String tagName){
        String result = "";

        NodeList nList = doc.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
        if(nList.getLength()>0){
            Element eElement = (Element)nList.item(0);
            String ranking = eElement.getTextContent();
            if(!"".equals(ranking)){
                result = String.valueOf(ranking);
            }

        }
        return result;
    }

return of the getContent(xmlDom,"MediaTitle") is "hiiii".

Good luck!
