Answer 1

What exactly have you tried, and what are the problems you encountered? This is a fairly standard scenario, so you should try it yourself before you come here and ask people to do your work for you.

If it were me, I would start here: Android Pull Parser , which can be read in your XML file and allow you to return data.

And you can see here how to make an HTTP call to read an XML file: Android HTTP Client
