Use this code example to parse the XML file first.

Then with the list of the images you will need to get image from resource folder.

To get image from drawable folder using its name use this code

At last use this great tutorial to display the bunch of images in arraylist.

When manged to read the XML (if not tell me) here is the code i use to read imageNames out of an JSON to fill the ListView on the About activity:

holder.logo.setImageResource(getResources().getIdentifier("about_logo_"+aboutItems.get(position).getID(),"drawable",getActivity().getPackageName()));

or you mean something else like saveing the binary into the xml and read it? then i must say that not what XML is made for!
