Question

I am a beginner of Android apps and am using Eclipse. I have found some larger samples of pulling APIs but I cannot find a simple one to get started with. I simply want to pull from an XML file on the web (by using an API KEY) and throw it in a LinearLayout (Vertical). I can then go from there, anyone know of any? Below is a sample of my XML:

<xmldata>
 <Products>
   <ProductCode>ITI-GR12</ProductCode>
   <ProductName>Granada 9-3/4" Narrow Rim Platter</ProductName>
   <ProductPrice>64.4000</ProductPrice>
 </Products>
</xmldata>

I am assuming you are looking for mechanisms which help you to parse XML and extract data from it…Voila here is a link to get you started with different ways of doing it…
