To access XML resources stored in res/xml, call getResources().getXml() from any Activity or other Context. You need to supply to getXml() the ID of the XML to load (R.xml.myfile).

The getXml() method automatically returns you an XmlResourceParser implementation instance, so you can directly pass it to XmlPullParser and start parsing your data. – Dimitar Dimitrov Sep 03 '09 at 11:50

to read your xml add code as shown below

XmlResourceParser myxml = mContext.getResources().getXml(R.xml.MyXml);
//MyXml.xml is name of our xml in newly created xml folder, mContext is the current context
// Alternatively use: XmlResourceParser myxml = getContext().getResources().getXml(R.xml.MyXml);

myxml.next();//Get next parse event
int eventType = myxml.getEventType(); //Get current xml event i.e., START_DOCUMENT etc.

and to get content of code add code shown below
