How to parse a String that contains XML in Java (Android)

Question

I have XML in the form of a String that contains:

<Data>
  <id>6731</id>
  <aux>82</aux>
</Data>

How can I get the values 6731 and 82 from the XML? The XML isn't in a document, it's simply a String. Thanks in advance. Actually, I tried XmlPullParser but i think that only works for xml files or URLs, not for Strings. Am I right?
