Webserver to android XML parsing -

my dot-net web server returning xml. want show data in android app.

how proceed?

i have soap class gets xml response , returns response. how parse response in list view?

public string getalldetails() {            strictmode.threadpolicy policy = new strictmode.threadpolicy.builder()             .permitall().build();     strictmode.setthreadpolicy(policy);     // create envelop.envelop used send request     soapserializationenvelope envelope = new soapserializationenvelope(             soapenvelope.ver11);     envelope.setoutputsoapobject(request);     // says soap webservice .net service     envelope.dotnet = true;     httptransportse androidhttptransport = new httptransportse(url);     string s = "";            androidhttptransport.debug=true;     androidhttptransport.setxmlversiontag("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");     try {         androidhttptransport.call(soap_action, envelope);         soapprimitive response = (soapprimitive) envelope.getresponse();          s = response.tostring();                    log.d("converter", response.tostring());     } catch (exception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     }     return s; } 

you need create xmlparser.java file enable parse xml. use respective methods parse through response xml output , show them either listview, gridview, cardview etc. refer code below, works me when comes parsing xml.
